+          <p>Following Visa and MasterCard's move to biometrics, PayPal
+             now supports authenticating purchases with fingerprint
+             recognition.
+             Hence, police can now <a href="http://www.findlaw.co.uk/law/government/civil_rights/500374.html">forcefully take user's fingerprints</a> and
+             <a href="http://www.wired.com/2013/09/the-unexpected-result-of-fingerprint-authentication-that-you-cant-take-the-fifth/">access their mobile computers</a> and possibly empty their electronic wallets

+          <h3>5-12-2014: US judge rules banks can sue merchant for bad security</h3>
+          <p>Merchants taking credit card data from customers now have to additionally
+             fear banks suing them for losses.  It is not suggested that the merchant
+             in question was not in compliance with PCI DSS security audit procedures.<br>
+             With Taler, merchants never handle sensitive personal credit data, and
+             thus neither customers, exchanges nor governments would even have standing to
+             sue merchants in court.  Thus, if a merchant system were to be compromised,
+             the damage would be limited to the merchant's own operations.
