Huh... create script to fill DB with all possible Visa numbers, tomorrow's "marketing insight" will suddenly be an empty file because everything will be excluded.

Bonus, if they can't separate which exclusions were from legitimate requests and which came from this script, they can't just delete those entries from the database.

Of course, no one should do this...

Perfect use case for Splunk.
