Just to play the other side of the argument here...there are lots of
technical ways to make things more and more secure. The downside to
almost all of them is that it also makes the process more difficult.
I've seen a bunch of clients over the years that get fixated on making
things "totally secure" and completely lose usability in the process.
Trying to root out the possibility that 1 in 100 people might dick you
over can result in another 20 never bothering to go through with their
purchase because you made it too difficult. Yeah, you made it "more
secure" but you lost more than you gained and that should always be
the bottom line.

There's a reason that stores figure shoplifting loses into their
pricing models. Work on finding and preventing the big stuff. Don't
sacrifice usability for the sake of trying to prevent every last
little thing. Just something to think about as you meet with them.

Cheers,
Judah
