    To all the naysayers below, we're all aware that you could just as easily actually steal one from a bank, or buy a real security pen http://www.shoplet.com/office/db/MMF28908.html

    However, both of those choices defeat the capitalist spirit of this.

    Damnit! Not everything has to be a silly ironic statement or clever message. Do you really need attention that bad? Sometimes a pen is just a pen. You write with it. Buy 3 dozen of these for the same price.

    @combat chuck: The irony of your statement is that silly ironic statements are unnecessary grabs for attention. You could have said nothing, and had the same effect.

    Also, you're wrong. Irony and wit are the height of humor.

    @DeusExMach is a star-bellied sneetch.: Touché.

    I guess I was trying to say that you'd be spending $4 to get one pen so you could be mildly amusing for a minute. So just save the money and think of something funny to say for free. You might even get more laughs.

    @Grahmo: Yes, he can really steal it for free. If he steals it, he does not pay for it, hence it is free. It's not an oxymoron. It's redundant. But it exists to highlight his point on how paying for this is stupid, therefore it is not a syntax error.

    if this becomes main stream they may have to rewrite laws regarding protection afforded to debit cards. right now you are not liable for any amount charged to a credit card, but debit cards carry a small amount of liability if fraud is perpetrated through a PIN based transaction. something around $50 bucks.

    Retinal scan anyone? How about retinal scan + prostate for men, this has the added benefit of multiple screenings throughout the year and it should discourage 1/2 the population from using ATMs in the first place.

    @Shamoononon thanks Rocephin: What if someone draws more than $30? Banks let you do that because they can then hit you with an overdraft fee, which is usually just a flat fee but could be a flag fee + some percentage of the amount you withdrew that was past your balance amount.

    @Usama: It won't let you do that with banks who runs their own ATM hosting switch. Now if they have someone else hosting for them, and the bank goes offline, then yeah, you could probably go up to $300 bucks.
