[Atrocities]

The US Secret Service must do what it can to prevent the onslaught of counterfiting that was introduced to the US when laser and color printers became previlent in the market place.

I can remember back in the early 90's as a checker when people would try and pass off photocopied fake bills. It was very annoying. If we accepted a fake bill it came out of our pocket to cover the cost. (Illegal now, but mainstream practice back then.) The big red S had earned a notorious reputation because many managers would use the laser printers in the office to photocopy bills and then replacing a real bill with a fake one in many checkers tills when they would turn them in at night. They would pocket the real money, and then bill the checker for the fake bill.

Thankfully it is very hard now to print fake money. I have no problems with any security steps that have been created so long as I have the option to turn them on or off with the exception of the printer dots. Those I think are a good thing and really don't effect me.
