[SGVLUG] spotting skimmers?

[Mic Chow]

Wow that is a scary thought on 1) How sophisticated skimmers and the 
people who use them have become and 2) How lacked consumer bank security 
has become.

I remember these skimmers being rather fragile, so I would slip my card 
in sloppily and jerk my card out fast, so that if there was a skimmer, 
it would be pulled from the slot.  After looking at that site, well I 
guess that trick is not going to work anymore.
