There are two parts of the problem. The first is the assumption of risk: the current model of operation in the US (like in other western economies) puts the onus of risk of misuse of the card on specific actors. When you change the basis from signature (fraud) to chip+pin (leak of knowledge) you

Zach, Yes, RTBH is used to distribute the null-routes that I mentioned. Unfortunately, even brief saturation events lasting just 5-10 seconds (a typical amount of time to detect the loss, issue the null-route, and see the traffic start to fall off as it is distributed upstream) can cause
