Comment

I am quite a tall person and have been testing too see how easy it is to capture peoples pin numbers in many retail stores. It is disturbing that well over 50% of the time I can see what the person is typing and should I be inclined could misuse that information I could easily do so. Chip & Pin is clealy a poor solution and open to more methods of fraud as describbed in this article. When I go to the US and they dont eve check a signature anymore some low transactions you have to wonder where this is all heading. Clearly a picture ID, signature and pin would be the best solution.
