Some banks have. In the mid-90s, Bank of America used to take a photo, and put it on their debit and credit cards -- in fact, my (much newer) cards still have that same photo on them.
No idea if they still do that. I don't get the impression that it was a huge boost for security. Nobody pays all that much attention to the photo.
