2/14

I see a huge problem with the way retail stores handle credit card charges.  They rarely ask for any ID and many times not even a signature.  I know there are many fraudulent schemes going on that are next to impossible to monitor.  Ordering online with a stolen card is one.  It just seems that having to show your ID would help eliminate a small portion of identity theft.  Requiring photo credit cards might also help, and some kind of fingerprint confirmation would be even better.  My dad travels a lot and has his card number stolen at least once a year.  He's lucky that the card company covers the bad charges.
