On a related note, in the old days before card readers, a crooked dealer would look at his facedown card, and then hint to the player in some fashion what it was.
But these days, at many casinos, the dealers don't look at their facedown card. Instead a machine reads the facedown card and flashes a signal whether it's Ace. Thus the dealer doesn't even know what their cards are until after revealing them to the players.
Not to say dealers can't cheat other ways, but often involves doing things further out of the ordinary and thus more likely to be caught and stopped quickly.
