   Written signatures (that are not witnessed) are useless really. When my   
   debit machine spews out a receipt with "Signature required", the person   
   can easily put anything there.  Often I just get a scribble.   
      
   However, I think the understanding in the industry is that for starters,   
   I wouldn't have that debit machine unless my true identity was verified.   
   And since I am a "registered" operator of the device, and rule is if I   
   give the receipt to the buyer to sign, then I did exactly that - as me   
   as a witness, and that my claim to authenticity trumps the buyer's claim   
   should they decide to deny they signed it.   
      
   Also, I should be probably checking that the scribble they put on the   
   receipt matches the scribble they have on the back of the card.   
      
   But sometimes, there is no sig on the card, or the user refuses to hand   
   it over, or they tell me it's a family card, or.. whatever.   
      
   For now, the sig on receipt requirement is only for foreign buyers.    
      
   PIN enabled or Contact-less enabled cards are gaining usage.
