Glaring inconsistency: The new cards are "dual technology" they come with both the chip AND the mag stripe... because all retailers still don't have chip readers. If the mag stripe remains familiar/faster/easier and someone else (the retailer) is responsible for fraud, which method will consumers use? Duh. Just cost shifting by the banks to retailers until retailers are willing to refuse mag stripe transactions.
