Mostly, I'd accept any domestic government issued photo ID and/or any
passport. Generally when someone asks for my ID, I use my passport.

Sure. However, if you provide the forger a specimen of your signature on
the card, you're just asking for trouble IMHO. If the merchant is going to go
to the trouble of checking the signature, the extra step of matching that against
ID that matches the cardholder name instead of just matching it to the back
of the card is a negligible additional inconvenience while providing an
additional layer of protection.
