I was thinking "ISOLATE, ISOLATE!" I'm so glad Pete said that was what he was going to do to save it on the 360

Classic.
Now, oddly enough, I was reading this information literally just this morning before I turned the podcast on. The entire article was "The 9 big Credit Card Myths" on Msn Money --
Myth No. 3: Merchants may require identification, such as a driver's license, when you pay with a credit card.
Merchants' agreements with Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover specifically forbid them from requiring identification. Your signature is supposed to be enough.
Furthermore, merchants' contracts with Visa and MasterCard are supposed to prevent them from even
asking for ID. American Express and Discover don't prohibit asking but strongly discourage it.

Merchants typically ask for ID because they're trying to reduce their own fraud costs. But if a clerk memorizes or writes down vital information from your driver's license -- your address or date of birth, for example -- you're the one who could be at greater risk of identity theft.
Myth No. 4: You can deter identity theft by writing "Ask for ID" instead of your signature on the back.
See above. You'll certain deter
use of your card, because merchants aren't supposed to accept one that's not signed on the back, and that could affect you as much as any thief.
