I've though about that before also... never really came up with an answer.
Maybe she tried and they didn't work, so she wasn't in trouble... or maybe
since she wasn't aware of the law, (she wouldn't have been told that
already, would she?) she wasn't given a notice?

I'd love to hear other people's comments/ideas on the subject.
