how can you expect me to help protect your privacy...
when you don't care what you reveal in public?
I would never suggest that anyone fill in a government form on a public library computer, nor pay bills... you might get away with buying something if you have your credit card stored at the site, but I don't think anyone should sit at a computer with a credit card in hand entering numbers....
this has nothing to do with the computer, but everything to do with the people in the library, pretending to browse, waiting to steal.
yes, pretty much each day, someone has something stolen because they weren't paying attention to their property.
so a sign like this, although this one was completely in jest, would remind folks about the importance of their privacy in an online (and very public) world.
