Security Risk

I am not sure where to post this, but I am actually worried about the 988 people getting an iPad on Wednesday.

I ordered an iPad last week, my iPad arrives on Wednesday. Needless to say I am more then excited.

However today when Looking at my tracking number I noticed that there was a master tracking number linked. I clicked it and to my surprise I see 988 deliveries all 3.4 pounds which is the weight of the shipment for my iPad.

Now that I have this tracking number I can see the name address and phone number of each person expecting an iPad. How is this possible how can Apple allow anyone to gain access to this master tracking number?

How easy could it be for me to simply go to these people homes wait for fedex tell them I'm "Such and Such" and simply walk away with a free iPad.

In my opinion this is a huge security risk. I post this on these forums because when I called Apple the person I spoke to didn't understand or care.

Does it matter? I should not have access to the names of 988 people their home phone numbers and address and when their iPad should arrive.

This is a FedEx and Apple issue, FedEx for allowing third parties to view a master tracking number and Apple for jumbling 988 shipments together knowing that the master tracking number would be attached to each shipment.
