Well users do care about getting hacked when it happens - so maybe they do
need to be forced to pay a little more to be secure. This also has benefits
for e-commerce and on-line banking, credit card fraud etc

Actually, the entire credit card industry is build around the assumption
that there *will* be 4-5% fraudulent transactions, and it's not cost-effective
to try to reduce fraud any further (though it *is* usually worth it if
there's a new spike of a fraud variant that is fairly easily dealt with)...
