Since each bank can choose their own method of security, that means you'll need a device for each bank account. Wow.

If you're not running a firewall deserve getting keylogged, especially if you're running Windows. Besides, if they have your machine backdoored, they've already accessed your bank account the second you did...not that they can do anything besides check your balance, and maybe transfer money between checking and savings.

I have a better idea: make stupid people responsible for their own stupidity.

Just look at the source! He made it up. He's so full of hatred for the government that he'll just make stuff up.

Dave, go back to P&N. It's amazing the mods have let you keep your Elite title with all the trolling you do. :roll:

I agree mugs, people need to accept their losses and stop whining because of their stupid mistakes.

And I doubt any bank would resort to biometric scans, too costly.
