I've seen ATM's with flashing green lights shaped like an "wide

Reminds me of a girl I dated once . . . . . . . .

She had a green - \/ - when she flashed you? Ew!


I think those flashing LEDS are to foil the installation of skimmers that
crooks use to get your bankcard data.
it's readily apparent if the LEDs are blocked by a skimmer covering the
card slot..
