That attack is far from trivial. There were other attacks against EMV in the past, but they're fixed as they come.
Magnetic stripes stay vulnerable, and ATMs in the US are not that secure either (seriously, some of them can be stolen and taken home by one man alone).
Securing chips is hard, but a lot of the process has already been figured out. What you should fear is the new RFID cards coming up soon. Those are even more vulnerable than magnetic stripes.
