        Here is one more of the security devices on a credit card; the magnetic
strip.  Most people think there are all these personal details and stuff on the
magnetic strip.  Actually, the magnetic has no more info then a blank tape.

        The strip need not contain any info except for the account number
or similar ID.  With the account number the computer can just be called up
and info be taken out, so there is no need to put it on the strip.

        Also, the experation date is on the strip.  Expired cards are 'eaten'
by auto-teller machines even when the expired card has the same account #
and name as its replacment card.  Credit limit, address, phone #, employer, etc
must not be indicated in the strip, for banks do not give out new cards just
because this info changes.  Many tellers have a special secret thing where if
the wrong number is enterd more than 3 times, the card is 'eaten' by the
teller machine, becuase it thinks the guy is a crook.

        It is possible to scramble the info on the back of the card by rubbing
a
magnet over it.
