I wonder what are the ramifications of a merchant requesting an
unsigned credit card slip.  Is it:

  o  illegal?
  o  legal, but frowned upon by credit card companies?
  o  encouraged by credit card companies?

I think that the answer to this question is needed before we
can figure out what to do when faced with the request to sign
off a blank credit card slip.  Anybody have an answer?
