No, you throw them away when you see a hold up comming, so that they can't force you to give up the pin. For instance :-) The problem with that is that many times, all you need to buy with a credit card is the number, name of the holder, and expiration date, and all those can be found on the card

Yep.
Unless the owner has time the same day to denounce the card loss to the company.
By the way... I know of at least one e-commerce institution that does not accept credit card payment from Internet. It has to be bank transfer, or postal payment on arrival (which is more expensive). I wonder why.
Probably means that they do not have, or unable to get a credit card trader account, which apparently can be expensive to set up and maintain.
