I think this is a valid point. Isnt' the purpose of e-money and such services to be a service online that can mimic the use of cash? I thought e-money type systems were supposed to be completely anonymous.

Where do we draw the line?? just because criminals use a service doesn't mean the ppl offering said service are liable.

to give an extreme example, what if a terrorist transported a bomb on his person using public transit, does that mean the city is responsible because they don't have scanning devices in place to check for such things?
