there is a simple solution to mitigate much of this:
- only use pre-paid credit cards attached to fictitious identities.
- don't use customer loyalty programs (grocery chain cards, etc).
- don't use debit cards anywhere except ATM's.
- use cash anywhere and as often as you can.

I have never owned a CC, and even refuse to keep what little cash I
have at a bank (or is it banks refuse to keep my pittance, i forget).

It seems to me that banks and CC companies will give my cash to anyone
that asks for it and then send me a bill. Well, not anyone. If _I_
want my money (more than 10k), they make me wait.
