Rich, I think now you are just trying to be insulting for no reason. Look, I'm not saying that *I* would do this. I said it's a "scenario". It's possible. People do this. Therefore, stickers don't mean shit. Requiring stickers is stupid, because they don't know if a tank is clean just because it has a sticker on it. In my case, they know, because they know I take care of my gear and they know me because they see me 3 days a week. I'll try to be less vehement in my argument next time, I wasn't trying to offend you. I was just trying to point out that stickers don't mean anything, and got carried away a bit.
