A Company like Lowes should take responsibility in protecting their customer's credit information. If the company can't afford the expertise to secure their wireless technology then they should stick with the old card sliders with carbon copies.

Wait, do hackers out wardriving also dig through garbage...? Better burn the carbon copies...
