Mastercard spokesman Seth Eisen was unenthusiastic about Adams' proposal, calling it "a troubling invasion of privacy based on specious reasoning.

All night he cried, knowing that he was in trouble and hoping that someone would come to save him. There are souls who are like the lost sheep. Spiritually compromised,...
