Put the two together, and you've got an absurd invasion of privacy. Both for legitimate reasons I suppose. But wow ... this can be improved upon. At least one of these doesn't come out of the bottom of the machine: http://www.featurepics.com/FI/Thumb300/20060712/PersonPuttingRubberGloves50229.jpg Title: Re: Bitcoin ATM in USA- scan phone, scan hand, take photo of face, AND supply DL Post by: russokai on February 19, 2014, 06:43:38 AM Yes it is absurd. The USA wants its citizens to have zero financial privacy. They would probably revoke physical cash if they could figure out how.
