Well, that would prevent Gates from travelling ('Bribery Trips') around the

PINs stolen from Citibank ATMs
,----[ Quote ]
| The alleged thieves made off with about $2 million between October 2007 until
| March of this year. Officials believe they remotely broke into the back-end
| computers that approve cash withdrawals and grabbed the PINs as they were
| being transmitted from the ATMs to the transaction processing computers,
| which increasingly use Windows, the report says.
