Here's something else for LP to worry about: aiming covert cam at checkout counter to get pics of credit cards, beamed out to the parking lot. No doubt, the surveillance video on this will be all over YouTube once it's released (the video link on the page below is just the news story and doesn't show the device - not worth your time to watch): http://www.local6.com/technology/17196749/detail.html
These guys were pretty clumsy, using black tape, etc.; when it was spotted it looked like a bomb or something, so it kinda stuck out. Count on people figuring out better ways - especially if they can collude with employees. While it's not known if these guys actually got any card numbers, this story will spark all kinds of ideas...for instance, how hard would it be to do this in a dressing room, restroom, employee locker room, etc? Some of these cams are very, very small.
