The internals of convenience store ATMs are mostly ordinary PC  
components.  The keypad, bill dispenser, and touchscreen are the only  
really unusual parts.

A recorder on the line won't do much good.  Modern ATMs encrypt the  
PIN *in the keypad* -- it's not even available to the host OS in  
unencrypted form.
