You should put the code in Your model. And in afterFind callback
iterate through stuff You got, call can_close() and if true - add some
virtual field to retrieved data (virtual = not in DB, but appears in
results array after find()).
It's similar to advice above, but keeps "Fat Model, Skinny Controller"
and DRY concepts. But only use it, when You need this virtual fields
in every result on that model :)
See: http://book.cakephp.org/view/681/afterFind
