I agree they shouldn't do it but the idea the crook is going to follow this person with a camera out waiting for the perfect time to take a picture of their card, while it is attached to their waist, seems pretty far fetched to me, then they still may not have the security code (my Amex has it on the front of the card, I guess they don't want the extra security of putting it on the back).
If credit card companies really cared to inconvenience people a little to raise security there are all kinds on things that could be done. Needed zip code, PIN use, restaurants machine brought to table, etc. but they don't feel the amount of money they lose justifies it.
My company card has a PIN associated with it, only place I have ever needed it is Subway.
