The U.S. should move to chip-and-PIN anyway...
If nothing else, so that U.S. travelers can use their credit and bank accounts while overseas.
As for point-of-sale, it's really becoming a nightmare. The store personnel who work with them directly don't understand them well and are not highly educated in IT and security, and it's the one piece of "store equipment" that retailers are happy to have customers/pretend customers fiddle with, because usually that means they are about to buy something. And the terminals are balky enough that you can walk in off the street and do unusual things to the terminal as long as you are making/pretending to make a purchase and passing off your actions as "Wait, your card swiper doesn't seem to be working. Here, let me try doing this. There, that's got it/Eh, I'll just pay cash/Never mind, I don't want the item anymore."
