I'm surprised Amazon doesn't X-ray incoming merchandise and then use Computer Vision (i.e. face tagging but for objects) to say whether what's inside the box matches what "should" be in there according to a database of SKU X-ray "fingerprints."

It's probably not worth the cost. Even though the numbers would seem large to us, at their scale it's probably not.

If theY ignore fraud the fraudsters will naturally increase their activity.

A percentage is a percentage...

A penny is a percentage of a dollar, a hundred dollars, and a thousand dollars.

That percentage matters less the smaller it gets.

So, that is why I thought they put in a security blanket inside the SSD box.

Maybe some rudimentary thermal imagery, and that is the method?

It's probably more about weight, size, and convenience. SSDs don't weigh much. Neither do blankets and that one probably fits in the SSD box without any hassle.
