As much as we complain and have ample proof of hacks, why would we further
expose ourselves by having someone else's credit card information on our
machine?  

I have personal knowledge of over $8,000 in fraudulent charges made
to a credit card where the information was stored on a "secure" server.  
It took the card holder a lot of effort and communications with the bank,
credit card fraud unit and the Secret Service to undo the damage.

IMHO, don't even think about storing what isn't yours, what the customer
has not expressly asked you store, and what could be a tremendous
liability.

Dump the liabilty on your merchant service bank or third party credit
card processor...that's why you pay them fees.
