Loyalty card signed by Spychips author: “Get rid of this!”

While she is most well-known for her spychips work, Albrecht also has a history of activism against supermarket loyalty cards, so I could not resist asking her to sign my Albert Heijn Bonus Card. The best part is that, by signing it, she also disabled it:
