July 21 Ya best protect ya pin, kid (oh yes, I DID say that)The other day, I’m in line to pay for groceries and I notice the woman in front of me is being very careful to “Protect Your Pin”. She's shielding her card from my view as though she were protecting a child from a wild dog attack. I understand the need for safety but there’s no need for paranoia, lady. See, I’m no TechnoSuperGeek. I can’t see a PIN number and use that information alone to hack into a mainframe somewhere and clean out your account. See, I was the kind of guy in high school where people would go, "Hmmm...he might be OKAY at computers. Better than some, I guess. No way could he hack the Pentagon...probably not even the school. But not popular. DEFINITELY not popular"
See, I would need to witness your PIN number and then follow you out of the store and bash your head in with a rock as you get to the parking lot and use the actual card to steal your money. Very low-tech. And in that scenario, shouldn’t you be more concerned with having your head bashed in?
