Re: Foaming at the mouth, but the foam kind of makes sense

The law is ridiculous and makes no sense.

Either they change the law or it is applied to everyone, not just the poor as it seems to be the case.

So, to be clear: banks should be allowed to scan before you login, for security, they should disclose it too, and researchers should disclose who they are scanning.
