Well, yes, that could be done. Of course, then they would need some
perforations elsewhere because it's better for eggs to have some "breathing"
room. But it would not be all that difficult to design such a case. (As

electronics--they may deter thieves, but they also make it almost impossible
for me to open after I have paid for an item!)
