Extends the current prohibition against the fraudulent use and transportation of credit cards to cover credit card numbers, debit cards, electronic banking cards, or other access devices to a customer's account.
Makes possession with unlawful or fraudulent intent of five or more illegally obtained credit cards, codes, or other means of accessing an account a Federal crime.
