After seeing so much near-flaming on this issue, I'd be curious to know
how often anyone ever actually tries to do this, that is, take a check
to the bank it was issued from and tries to cash it.  I can think of
once I did this in 29 years I've been alive, and it was just because I
needed the cash.  Of course, that was in 1987 or so when we presumably
didn't have big check fraud problems.

What I mean is, everyone is upset at the thought of having to give a
fingerprint, is that all the beef?  Just with the theory?  I'll claim
that a good % of people these days never cash any checks with the
advent of direct deposit.  And those that do have paper checks just
deposit them into their regular bank.
