Because the digital controls were not designed with public access in mind, they typically lack even rudimentary security, with fewer safeguards than the purchase of flowers online

I have a marketing idea for the credit card companies. Facilitate putting security on such systems by wrapping them in a plain old e-commerce web front end. Then allow operators to log in using their credit cards. Charge the card, say, a nickel for each access. This way, all access is tracked by the credit card infrastructure. For discussion.

Nah. Just install a microscopic ID chip in everyones hand. Much more efficient.
