trux said:Paul, just get a remote credit card reader - you will immediately know who is in front of you (well, unless it is a pick-pocket who just picked a wallet to someone else). And additionally you may be able to see if their account balance makes them interesting enough for a chat :chatup
A remote credit card reader ? Trux, I MUST have this fabulous toy. Ever since my Senator nixed my proposal to require all adults to have their personal data bar-coded on their foreheads, I've despaired of a technological solution to my phanatic disphonia. Please, please supply me with details on this remote credit card reader thingy. Oh - do you happen to know whether they come with a USB or Firewire connection for my TASER ? Thanks again.
