After that insight, I just started putting them in the shredder. Never had a problem or got so much as a phone call.

FWIW: The two times I got voir dire'd, my name was crossed off as soon as they discovered I had 2 cousins who worked for the PD, one cousin with the US Marshals Service, and was dating an attorney ... just sayin' ...
OK, that is not a bad idea. I might try that next time...
