Most merchant agreements prohibit asking for more ID beyond the card.
Umm... how many places have you seen with a minimum amount chargable? That isn't allowed by _any_ of the merchant agreements that I know of, and I've seen a lot of places do it anyway. How's the card company going to notice? Most people use cash for small stuff anyway.
cpunk relevance? Most security that relies on people being awake is broken. Security that relies on people with no financial interest in a transactions security is broken. Studying how security breaks today is a good idea.
