Comment on Ars editor learns feds have his old IP addresses, full credit card numbers

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.
