I doubt this is the cause.  Why can't they handle more of the registration

process on the phone.  They're swamped, and they know they are.


And I would definitely not describe the lack of SSL as a "massive security

flaw".


The person who manages to packet sniff and intercept a credit card number

will not become rich.  The person who gets through a badly set-up firewall

and gets a *database* of credit card numbers will become rich.


If I were after credit card numbers, I wouldn't waste my time on the

inertnet -- i'd be bin-raking at the mall.
