Ah Chip & PIN at last.
NO. Chip and SIGNATURE. The US Banks have refused to go Chip and PIN
and have gone for a half way system where the swipe is replaced with
reading the chip but the user still must sign a charge slip instead
of entering a PIN number (which is how everyone else uses the chip).

Seriously Ed? Do you really think a major hotel chain is going to
tell potential customers their credit card system is insecure?
Credit card companies are on the verge of providing an incentive by
making
vendors liable for fraudulent charges on insecure credit cards.
That went into effect as of October 1. That is why all the credit
cards are being reissued with chips. If a card with a chip is
presented to a merchant and the card is swiped in lieu of the chip
being read, the merchant is responsible for the fraudulent charge.
