Yeah, tapping your card can lead to other issues.

If you don't actively close out your account after your transaction after tapping rather than inserting your card, it may keep your account open for additional transactions. With the card inserted, once you finish your transactions and get your card back, your account is closed. But with tapping, and depending on your bank, it may not close when your transaction is complete.

What is “tapping” your card? I have never heard the term.
How will that stop the thieves?
