A ticketed courier could deliver a large number of cards just as quick, if not quicker.

I bet if you took the cargo capacity (I'm guessing that with any packaging to speak of, volume would be the limiting factor rather than weight) of an air cargo configured 747, months worth of Genesis' card consumption would easily fit in one flight. That one hyperbole quote generated at least a half-dozen different articles in this media genre, most of which have been posted multiple times on HN over the past 4 days.
