Then, hopefully there are not a lot of unscrupulous ones doing the job, but I think there are plenty who would simply not tell anybody. (hee, hee, I got away with one for the team) or (they're just kids and that's a stupid rule, anyway) For one to hold the T and use it, I don't know. Most wouldn't be that devious, and besides that, they wouldn't think of it.

Honestly, the point isn't which would happen more often, it's which would be least damaging to the game if it did happen.
