To be more specific, I find it illogical to assume that the NSA would require you to provide them with the keys and at the same time let you talk about it.

One bit of good news out of this massive breach is that, according to Heartland's CFO, "The nature of the [breach] is such that card-not-present transactions are actually quite difficult for the bad guys to do because one piece of information we know they did not get was an address." Heartland just put up a press release on the breach.

You could have donated to the Obama campaign using a credit card without a correct address. Google "obama AVS".
