That explains the otherwise unexplainable “event” last year, when we had our AmEx card hijacked during a trip to Eastern Europe. All they needed was one attempt to login to the AmEx site.

You're all heart, Brad. Let's see, your contribution was to flame me and then add nothing useful to what I said.

I'm not going to discuss my personal shopping and banking habits with you, or the security precautions I might take under either normal or exceptional circumstances. I will, however, point out why your reply was a completely useless flame: if a public location is not safe due to factors that have to do with the customer or the location itself, it's not an excuse for a bank or a merchant to fail at their end of the security. That's what we were all criticizing here, in case you forgot.

given that AMEX and other credit card companies (usury companies) steal your money as fast as they can, why should they care if other people steal it too? They still make their cut when someone steals your money.
