If your carrier doesn't indpendently verify LOAs, the security of your circuits is zip. Ask your carrier salesperson how they validate LOAs. If they just check a letterhead, tell your carrier salesperson to do better.

When it affects the salesperson's commission, things happen.

Don't depend on the FCC.
