Nearly anyone can purchase an ATM machine, and because of that they're found in nearly every convenience store across the nation. There was an article on one of the news web sites a couple months back about it, and the tie-in to identity theft. It seems those privately own machines capture not only your name but bank account info... for obvious reasons so you can get cash or account balances. A unscrupulous ATM owner could drain many accounts in a very short period of time (a huge return is possible from the purchase/rental of an ATM). Consequently, I only use bank owned ATMs.
