credit vs debit cards

I too have 3 differeent credit cards,and pay them off. I also have a debit card that I got about 7 years ago, but I only used it once, In fact I don't even remember the pin. Credit cards are just too easy to use. The month end bill is still a rude reminder that you are spending and transferring money from your bank account to your credit card payment again serves as a reminder.
As for security, I don't sign my credit cards. I write "see govt photo id for signature" This forces the merchant to see my drivers license, and verify my identity by my picture. since the license also has a laminated signature, I feel relatively secure. So far no merchants have refused my purchases made this way....
It may be worth the extra buck for credit card issuers to put your picture on their credit cards,
verified by the issuing bank branch of course.
