I didn't vote, and for the reason BandB brought up. My card has been compromised many times, but never related to an internet purchase. It has always been traceable back to a small number of possible local purchases. That's the biggest risk that I have experienced. Why the US hasn't adopted the same rules as other civilized countries is beyond me. In other places, it's illegal for any merchant to handle your card. They pass the machine to you, and your card never leaves your hands. It's so simple, but my guess is that merchants and banks belly ache over the cost of the machines, and who pays for them.
