My Credit Card is Less Secure than my Facebook (lookatpete.com)

'Charge Notifications' do exist. Your bank may/may not offer them.

The reason credit cards are less secure, is because there is no need for them to be secure.

Anytime something goes wrong, there is a staff of people, paid for by those high credit card merchant fees, able to reverse any transaction.

Since the transactions are reversible, there's not much need for security.
