The card industry obviously can’t be relied upon to keep PINs secret. Therefore how can anyone who is a victim of PIN based fraud be held liable, have their money withheld if the industry can’t comply with the terms and conditions they expect their cardholders to.

KEEP YOUR PIN SECRET AT ALL TIMES.

Surely Chip & Signature cards should be offered to those who have lost faith in PINs or to those who faithfully comply with T&Cs?
