It occurred to me once upon a time that I could use just such a keylogger to capture my classmates' student ID card swipes when they went to release print jobs at any of the print stations on my university campus. I recognized this as a security flaw that (probably) didn't have many lucrative uses, but I never imagined such a technique might work for credit cards. I wrongly assumed that credit card readers would employ greater physical security.
