The reason bank ATMs carry Braille on their input keypads is so that the blind can input their PIN codes. In the case of walk-up ATMs, the blind person approaches the ATM, inserts his/her card, then asks their companion or the next person in line to tell them when the PIN prompt comes on screen. At the prompt, the blind customer can lean close to the machine or otherwise hide the keypad and key in their PIN secretly, then have their companion or fellow customer read the screen to them as necessary, allowing them to complete their transaction. In the case of drive-up ATMs, the blind person would input their code from the back seat of a car driven by another person, who would then assist them with reading the screen.

Yeah. Right. Sure. Uh-huh. Whatever. Of course.

(It's really there because the f**king bureacrazies runnin' the EPA/FHA/Handicapped Access programs don't have enough sense to think rationally, and too power to be told to leave rational people alone, and all the money they want - after all, other people have to spend it to make THEM feel better.
