Americans to be guinea pigs in vast chip-and-PIN security experiment

Vic

anyone who has worked in retail know that it is rare a signature is accurately verified.

A long time ago, I had an accident which meant I could not use my right hand for several months.

I would have to tell the checkout operators that I couldn't sign for my purchases - this was before Chip&PIN came in.

None of them were pleased about the situation, but I didn't have a single transaction declined...

Vic.
