Come North of the border to see how the technology is supposed to be implemented.
Oh, for...
People forget how long things took in their own countries to convert to chip & PIN.
Australia, which had relatively little fraud, took over a decade to do it.
Canada, which had more fraud, still took many years even with banks working together. Serious movement started in 2008, and yet two years later still only about 1/2 of merchant terminals took a chip card. In fact, Canada is used to demonstrate some of the known problems of moving to chip & PIN, such as a famous 2007 trial where many people could not remember to use a PIN or what it was. They also often left the card in the slot. That trial delayed the rollout.
Now, one major place that moved very fast, was the UK. But they had to, because their fraud rate was almost triple that of other places like the US. A lot of that was due to not having online authorizations, same as much of the EU.
(Which is the main reason chip and PIN was invented in the first place. OTOH, some countries like the US always had realtime authorization, PLUS American banks had spent lots on computerized fraud analytics to help with authorization checks. UK and Canadian banks had invested very little in such modern technology.)
Chip-And-PIN, You are given the terminal, insert card, confirm the amount, key in PIN, remove card. Done. Card never leaves your physical control. In a restaurant, they bring a wireless terminal to your table.
Yep, that's the way it'll end up in the US as well.
Ironically, the first time I saw wireless terminals was in Mexico many years ago, because no one wanted their card to be out of sight long enough to be copied.
The US has chosen to delay implementation of Chip-And-PIN and NFC technology, and then to implement it piecemeal.
Just going by Canada, the US still has years to go before they can be considered "behind" in a rollout.
