Standard encryption, says the ponytailed Alex, is like an "armor-plated pipe that connects two places over the Internet," and hackers know credit-card information is secure while it's en route.

TV viewers missed a chance to find out during his interview with NBC's Tom Brokaw three weeks ago. A Bush friend tells TIME that the President "wanted to take a big swipe" at Gingrich during the interview--but Brokaw never brought up the subject.
