I don't understand this stuff about cutting off the keypad (I saw a
note saying this happened on a NY Tel payphone in JFK airport in New
York after 0-xxx-xxx-xxxx).  That self-service credit-card-number- 
entry was put in in the first place because overheard
credit card numbers are a prime source of fraud, right?
