Invent one procedure that works only for your closed group, it shall only be known to all of you. What the procedures and patterns you have within your closed group will have to be seen as normal variations that to the casual observer don't look outside the ordinary.
A certain variation on how the clothing is worn might be your way of signaling to your group a certain message - or be part of the message when you casually meet.
I'm surprised that it's not the merchants that shall take full responsibility for fraud. That would raise the stakes on them to request photo ID or for online sales other means of supplementary identification.
Suffering in the short term perspective may pay off as beneficial in the long term perspective.
Some people think outside the box, and maybe the group suffers because of this - until the group has reformulated itself. If there were nobody that challenged the system then no progress would be made.
Considering the fact that either you have submarines and you know how they work - and can therefore at least have a reasonable defense against them or you don't have them and your knowledge will diminish because you can't train those scenarios.
Submarines also come in many variants - all the way from the nuclear "big dicks" to the miniature one-person type. It only takes a small one to cause a major impact in a harbor.
Just declare which standard you want to reach first.
But sometimes it's way easier to analyze how the current system works and then write a new one. Just figure out which parts that actually contains useful stuff and use that as a template.
Which is a theological way to define what Douglas Adams described on why the universe is so elusive to explain.
Another aspect is also - how do we know that the Universe was created at Big Bang. What if it was an empty void that suffered a spontaneous mass appearance.
Or do we live on the inside of a giant black hole?

As long as people remember him he's not truly dead.
He quit smoking a long time ago and still got the disease.
Opsec is just a procedure you apply.

Overpopulation is still a risk.
Cameras at ATMs.

It's still better than the magnetic stripe. But I agree - it's not as secure as it can be.
Compromised card readers are one item that can be used to spoof cards.
It's not the card that contains the PIN on the European solution, the PIN is validated by the bank.
The reason the US has opted for signature instead is because they think people will have problems remembering the PINs.
So this means that if you lose your wallet - tough luck because many shops don't check signature validity.
Add to it the stupidity that if someone matches the signature it's the signature on the card, not the signature on your photo ID.
According to some sources the US has opted for chip on the cards with a hand-written signature.
That leads me to believe that frauds in the US will continue to be high.
Is suffering always bad?

You may actually have to pay more for a large screen without all the WiFi and stuff because the production volume for them is a lot smaller.
Live with the fact that you get "extras" for almost no cost.
Probably because the weight loss industry would work against such methods - they will lose the customers.
The quotes weren't supposed to be typed...
Programmers combined with food and beverage.

No, "-rf *"
My bank have a pin code token with challenge/response authentication. Also used to sign receiving account numbers and the sum of the transaction.
There are probably "holes" in that solution as well, but it's at least standing up against brute force attacks against the banks.
The universe is merely a soap bubble.
A yet more intriguing question is; What says that the laws of nature are different in another universe?
Compare with soap bubbles, where our universe is one bubble. The laws are the same in all bubbles even though the sizes and shapes differ.
Just glass capsules, the explosion breaks the capsules and drenches the money.
Or it will just not work at all. 2 years from now there won't be a difference.
A better idea - Add a large canister of ink in the money box. That's what they do over here in Sweden and it seems to limit the amount of bombings.
It's a higher risk to get skimmed at the ATM than to encounter a bombing.

We are already 20 minutes into the future of that clock.
And the content on TV has progressively gotten worse since the 70's.
70's had cheesy TV shows that you could at least smile at. The TV shows today - they are either just stupid or depressing.
