Why do they allow restaurants to take a credit card into the back room where the card can be photographed, instead of requiring the transaction to be completed in the presence of the customer? Why is there a signature line on the back of the card that is never used for anything? Why don't they use biometrics? These are some simple, common sense measures that the banks could implement to greatly reduce fraudulent transactions. The cops can only get involved after it is too late to prevent fraud.

Yeah, and you can't expect the cops to arrest a rapist when the victim was wearing a halter top, right? To late to prevent it by then, so why arrest anybody? Blame the victim!
And all those folks getting carjacked in D.C. and Philly -- Ford oughta add armor plating and bullet-proof glass! No point in arresting those poor carjackers, when filthy-rich Ford should be selling us tanks on their own dime, right? It's Ford's fault!
You know what I think started all this nonsense? That idiotic 55 mph speed limit. They literally taught a generation of Americans to ignore the law, and now the law has become so meaningless that it can occur to an otherwise sane individual to blame rampant credit card fraud on the banks, instead of the crooks or the cops who refuse to arrest the crooks. No wonder otherwise honest old folks in a retirement community in Florida think nothing of scamming their insurance company out of a roof.
We have become a nation of crooks, and the only time anyone cares is when it's their turn to be the victim
