Signature Authorization is Stupid Security

Ever forge your husband’s signature? Wife’s? Parent’s? Client’s? Do you think the clerk behind the counter at Walmart is skilled in handwriting analysis? The fact is, a handwritten signature provides zero proactive security. If someone signs your name to a check, and you call the bank and say it wasn’t you, they look at the signature and determine whether it’s yours or not. From there they assign liability. That’s dumb.
