If "those items" are known to the issuer to have been on the forged card,
then the scanning machine must have read "those items".  If the scanning
machine read those items, then the compromised machine which gleaned the
necessary information could have gleaned "those items" just as well as the
rest of the stuff.

Please let us know how the discussions go.
