Borat doubts he will see an EMV active terminal in the U S and A but he did see such terminal at Walgreens that had a slot for a chip card a few weeks ago. Borat though slot was place for man to shave long beard.

I can't resist adding this: Kazakhstan's largest bank, Kazcommertsbank, is deploying Hypercom EMV terminals with Welcome's XLS payment software loaded in all of them. Lots better than the boring old magstripe cards and terminals used in "more modern" regions. :)
