Credit and debit cards have three &#8220;tracks&#8221; of data. Track 1 stores your name, account number and expiration date, and discretionary data to verify the PIN and security code.

Armed with a deck—or a list, anyway—of our &#8220;50 most prolific prostitutes,&#8221; vice cops nabbed almost half of them in the first two weeks of the initiative.
