So I guess it is possible...

Edited to make the post more clear:

No, those were not EBT [for SNAP, "food stamp"] cards. The EBT [SNAP, "food stamp"] cards are already well-controlled (can't even buy toilet paper or aspirin with them). But like the EBT [SNAP, "food stamp"] cards, the TANF cards can be systematically programmed to not accept those locations or types of purchases if it is a problem. That is the advantage of the cards over the old system. Easier to control abuse.
