Using a credit card online makes life a lot easier if you live out in the boonies and have to order most of what you want or need, barring what podunck little town grocers have on their shelves. Security issues and being aware of them are important.

Clinton, you may think you have nothing to hide, but I believe we are seeing a new McCarthyism on the rise and lots of screenwriters and actors, etc. though they had nothing to hide either, back then. I know you are not in the US, but using terrorism as an excuse, the governments of most countries are going to be, or already are, watching and gathering more info; cell phones, and the internet, plus those damn savings cards at the grocery stores make it easier for them. You joke about pornography...some day you might get called on it, who knows? I'd prefer to be aware and watch my back now, rather than later.
