I wonder if the government can be fined for violation of PCI. Or perhaps the airline companies for providing it to the gov't in the first place.
As I understand it, you will only be fined contractually as part of a card acceptance agreement, so the government can't be charged.
But since the government accepts electronic payment cards ...
I'm pretty sure there's a scope to those agreements.
The airline companies will be immune to such. That's always part of the racket.
