Contrary to popular belief, picture credit cards are a danger for ID theft. You may recall the time a TV station (was it 60 Minutes?) had a card made up with a photo and the name of Mickey Mouse. Then sent someone whose picture did not appear on the card and whose name was not Mickey out to make charges--which they did with no problems.

IMHO, never have a picture credit card. It protects the bank ("You must have made those charges in Nigeria because your picture is on the card."); not you.
