Penny- wise ???

A Canadian Credit Card holder is putting a new twist on an old trick practised by disgruntled debtors -- repaying his bills in pennies to miximise the collector's inconvenience.

Unhappy when his Canadian bank began outsourcing some of its credit card processing to the United States, the man lodged his protest via the bank's online payment system, jamming its computers by making dozens of tiny payments a day.

Don Rogers said he was worried that anti-terrorism laws in the United States could allow the U.S. Government to access his data without his consent. "i dont want CIA or Gearge Bush to know how many cases of Viagra I bought last week, or what church or charities I donate to," he said.
