So we got rid of Guard IDs..

If a person wants a glass of water, that person needs to get off their duff & go get a glass of water. That person can grumble about having to expend the energy having to do it all they like, but it's faster than hoping someone will serve them up a glass of water on a silver platter just because they don't wanna go to the kitchen & turn on a faucet themselves.

Analogy doesn't fit. In your case, the first time the prospective water drinker has to get up, they also have to run on a tread mill, or sort through a pile of toothpicks and arrange them in order of pointiness - or maybe some other menial task.

If someone just had to get up and go to where the thing was available to procure it... well, that sounds a lot like flying to a station and picking up the unrestricted equipment yourself. Same sort of thing. So the point of your story is that couriers are bad and people should get things themselves?
