Good job incorrectly conflating chip &amp; pin with contactless transactions there Mr. Author. Entirely ignoring the fact that many US cards already have contactless built in even inspite of not having chip &amp; pin.<p>Honestly the author is trying too hard to make this news US-centric. Trying to turn it into a discussion about why rolling out chip &amp; pin in the US is &quot;bad.&quot; While entirely ignoring the fact that chip &amp; pin and contactless aren&#x27;t one in the same, and that the US already has contactless.<p>Really poor article in general. The author either doesn&#x27;t know what they&#x27;re talking about or worse does and is trying to mislead the reader.
