I'll have to introduce you to the Product Guys next time you come to Seattle. They know so much more on a deeply technical level that I think you'd be interested in. Any of your feedback and expertise would be great as well. Thanks, An Nick, great questions. I’ll have to introduce you to the Product Guys next time you come to Seattle.

In theory the clerk is supposed to ask for ID. This happened to me for the first time in several months at Eastern Mountain Sports the other day. The robot checkouts at my grocery store used to require a digital signature, but they had so many problems they switched to an option where you can verify by entering your billing zip code. This is silly, since probably 90%+ of the shoppers live in one of two local ZIP codes. As a side note, the biggest point-of-sale advantage for me of having a machine that could verify my identity is that I could use the faster robot checkout line to buy beer :oD. Do you guys do anything with biometrics combined with the signature? I don’t sign the back of my credit cards; there’s no real point. In theory the clerk is supposed to ask for ID.
