An idea likely drummed up in the same room as the scourge against humanity known as the Kit Kat Quesadilla, Amazon has decided to launch an in-home delivery service called Amazon Key.

You win a time-machine trip back to 1951 when people actually thought it was safe to leave their doors unlocked.

We’ve got enough to be afraid of—no need to add “murdered by Amazon delivery person” to that list. Read the room, Amazon.
The internet is reacting in much the same way. See for yourself:
