Added remark about "stingray" usage.
Added DiffLines:
** One episode had Charles Stiles proudly announce that his team would be using a "stingray" (a cellular interception tool) to read text messages suspected problem employees were sending to one another. Even if Mystery Diners had gotten their hands on an actual stingray device, using it would have violated state wiretapping laws and FCC regulations.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Mystery Diners crew themselves. While getting their help in weeding out bad employees sounds like an interesting experience, simply confronting the bad employees yourself or calling the police would likely get the problem done faster.
