why is it at some places you have to sign your name and show ID but at places like "pay at the pump" gas stations you don't have to do anything except swipe the card and go isn't this dangerous if someone gets your card couldn't they keep filling their tanks on your dime until the card is reported stolen which if you don't use it often could be awhile

Yes, if your card gets stolen, anybody can us it at a pay at the pump gas station. It sucks, and may need more regulation in the industry. But, the credit card industry itself insures you up to a rediculous amount of money for stolen cards, so there is no need to worry about these types of situations. You will most likely get the money back. Just report it as soon as possible, and hopefully they can catch the culprit.

Well they probably couldn't fill their tank, because usually that requires a PIN number, but if its an actual credit card, they can buy store items with it...which would probably be worse than if they were using it for gas...
