i've seen no evidence that using it on the net is more dangerous.

I gave the evidence in my previous message:

The web makes it possible to steal hundreds of thousands of credit cards in one fell-swoop. This has already happened. This was here-to-forth impossible.

Your waiter cannot run away with hundreds of thousands of credit cards... He doesn't get to see that many in his lifetime.

>alomex, using a credit card is dangerous, period.

Dangerous to who?
Not the holder as he is protected against fraud (out of pocket $50, max, usually $0)
Not the cc company who has already projected losses to fraud in its 19+% interest rate.
The only one its dangerous to is the thief if he gets caught.
