QR-Codes in public places are very insecure. And in addition QR-codes
should never be used for financial transactions or other security
sensitive activities.
<BARF!>
(As I wrote,) Our banks, government, medical institutions, etc., etc.
exactly *do* use QR codes "for financial transactions or other security
sensitive activities", like login, transaction approval, etc., etc..
That QR codes can be use in dangerous ways, does not mean they can
only be used that way.
