When I "sign" at the checkout in the supermarket on one of those horrid screens, there isn't a "signature" that resembles any previous ones, except in illegibility. No cashier has yet batted an eye. But maybe those screens are there only to make you stand still for the security camera ...
Yes and they have a picture of you actively engaging in forgery.
They actually catch a surprisingly large number of the people who use credit cards illegally.

Since I pay the cards off every month, my use can't be considered illegal. It's just that those screens on the little stands by the checkout won't let me easily write my signature.
I'm sorry I wasn't implying "you" were the criminal.
Just a poor choice of words.
