It is a good system security vice. All I am saying is, the people who handle the machines need to be taught to respect privacy of users @Capri

Imagine a VISA debit card, which can be swiped by anyone at any of the merchant outlets and your bank account will take a direct hit in case of misuse, as the signature is seldom verified. A credit card misuse is something you can refuse to pay, but imagine the hassle when your bank account takes a hit directly and it could take ages before the bank could even reverse it. So better safe than sorry. Even the Police CyberCell advices people to opt for PIN protected Debit cards. Its high time even VISA offered this for its Debit cards in India.

Had I been there in the theater I wud have created a hue n cry :D why do we give in? I mean it makes them repeat it again :) Unfortunately India is full of customers but there is no one to take care...
