Electronic payments are a privacy concern for me. It's a big data collection source and it fuels companies like Axciom who built extremely detailed consumer dossiers on everyone.
Health insurance premiums tied to purchases? A teenager buying condoms who doesn't want their parents to know? Denied employment because you've purchased nicotine?
Not far fetched.
