I think it's always been the case that anyone can put money into your 
account without authorization. It's the taking out part that they check. 
A bank told me that probably 20 years ago; deposits don't really need 
any endorsement. They figure if someone is giving you free money, you 
won't complain. The check-cashing services should do a better job of 
checking IDs though, that's scary.
