Better keep this real quiet so the bad guys don't find out. Cuz if they knew
the secret, they say, "OK, sucker, be sure to enter the right PIN. If the mac
hine says you ain't got no money, I'm gonna blow your head off."
 Obviously, the duress PIN still issues money. And an access-duress PIN woul
still provide (some) access. Hopefully, the response team would consider it
a priority. Think "silent alarm".
