I spend all my time fighting REAL abuse, REAL harrassment, and REAL crimes. I am not gonna waste my time fighting this when some company is trying to protect themselves and their customers from ID theft.

 

How about abduction, rape, assault and battery? Are those REAL enough crimes for you? Maybe you live in a nice safe world where spreading around your personal info has no consequences, but some of us don't. The law doesn't protect us from these crimes so we have to protect ourselves in whatever way we can. I refuse to stay indoors 24/7 hidden from the world, but if doing a simple thing like keeping strangers from violating my rights will better ensure my safety, I'll do it.

 

I respect a lot of what you say on these boards, but on this subject, I feel that your not in touch with reality.

 

People have not been aware that id theft by the theft of CC's (the actual card not just the number) is 23% in America

ID theft by store employees has risen to 17% How? 1st your CC info and then "I need to see your ID"

It's said that if the level of consumer ignorance and carelessness with ones personal info continues at the current rate, that 17% will surpass the 23% over 2x in less than 2 yrs.

 

 

 

AMEN!!!!!!!!! :cry2:

If you like to show ID, write "SEE ID" on your card and hand them your ID with the card.

 

GEORGE is right on that idea... it makes ID-showing-lovers happy and most stores will take cards that are VOID (because they aren't signed) with ID .
