Transmitting card numbers electronically over the Internet can only exacerbate that problem.

Yes, if transmitted in the clear, PGP is legal now :-). Vendors on the net need to be pushed to use encryption. I'm not referring to the problem of sniffing credit card numbers off the net. I'm referring to the problem of credit card fraud by the operation on the receiving end. Even if the transmission is encrypted, there's still risk. Eric
