I do not believe Blowout (or DAC or Steel City or any of the other BIG guys) is searching boxes or packs, or opening boxes until they get a case hit then selling the rest. They are way too big of a business to risk their reputation doing shady stuff like that. That being said, I am certain that they buy boxes and cases to resell and sometimes the person they buy from may be searching before selling to Blowout. But the same thing could happen at a card shop, if someone were to bring in a bunch of unopened boxes and want to sell them cheap to the shop. I think the worst place that this occurs is on eBay.
That being said if you only after case hits then buy a case and you will get one. The odds are typically not in your favor if you just buy a box or two.
