David,
Thanks for that comment. It proves to me this is a waste of time.
We are being given technology developed 20 years ago? I know siginificant
modifications will have occured but you cannot beat crime by using old techniques,
surely?
Meanwhile, the fraudsters have deloped a lot of technology and skill in
parting us from our cash.
Would you be able to elaborate on the Restaurant issue. I'm used to handing
a card over and a waiter taking it away to swipe. Does a waiter now carry
a device which he can use at the table to read the card and take the pin
number?
Regards,
Carl
