I believe Texas it an at will employment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will state. This basically means that your employer can fire you for no reason and you can leave for no reason. The only exceptions occur where there are contracts between the two parties. Even if you didn't sign any contract, did you give a verbal commitment to work for them for a period of time? Those can be enforced.
From your brief description, in my opinion, their case seems pretty weak.
An interesting comparison is to consider why the red cross does not pay for blood "donations." We always hear the pitch to donate blood, but never let market forces solve the supply shortage. The red cross claims if they paid, then they would have all sorts of "undesirables" donating just to get the cash. Perhaps YouTube doesn't have to worry about quality control.
There has been a method, called the Bates Technique, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Vision_Improv ement
I actually tried the exercises and the relaxation techniques for a while and did have a decrease to my contact perscription. One of the rather frowned-on ideas was to look into the sun or at least not wear sunglasses. Some people have had remarkable success, if they didn't burn out their retinas.
The true capitalist may say that instead of investing in a byproduct of solar energy, we invest in capturing solar energy directly. But that never worked for oil, which is yet another solar energy byproduct.
He should have read Cryptonomicon and used a one time pad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_time_pad
If he has the time to tell his folks what the substitution cipher is, he can give them pads. Though getting random data from Hotbits http://www.fourmilab.ch/hotbits/ may be a pain in the bits.

couldn't you just wrap you travel documents in tin foil, along with one's head?
