I think the point raised in the paper about the system being defeated by torture are a bit over the top. If some ruthless individuals break into my home with the intention to torture people just to gain a few bucks... then I'm screwed whether I own a card reader or not.
- alecco 18y agoSure, it's over-dramatic. But the point is it lowers the benefit of having money in the bank instead of a safe at home (or business.)
