I do not understand this. If I sign the back of my card, potential thieves would know how I sign my name and could then forge it. I consider myself a pretty good forger of signatures and if i were a thief, I could do it. ANy purchase made without my authenic looking signature would be fraud. IMO, signing the back and not asking for ID on any card is stupid.
