I'm pro-C&S too but only in the US. PIN is simply not realistic at this time here because of merchant acceptance issues (borne out by personal experience). Whether this was self fulfilling because of Visa saying that signature is all the US needs, I don't know. That said, major banks should at least market a card or two with PIN priority towards international travelers, even if it has an AF.
