It is very legal, and quite often encouraged by Consumer Protection groups! Requesting your ID when you use a credit card ensures that you are who you say you are - or - that the credit card you are trying to use is yours. This prevents identity theft (or at least makes it more difficult).

Will a store allow you to use someone else's credit card if he or she is not there with you?

That depends on the store, really. I'm not sure if they're supposed to (legally speaking), but in my experience, businesses only ask for ID when using a credit card maybe 3% of the time.

Does a store clerk need to check the 3 security numbers on the rear of a credit card?

The answer depends on the store's policy on processing credit card transactions. Every merchant that accepts credit cards has a policy concerning how they choose to authenticate credit cards. Generally, the more checks that the merchant does, the lower the cost of the transaction for that merchant. Many retail stores (suggesting store clerks) do check the three security numbers on the back and enter that information into the register/reader when conducting the transaction. Having those three numbers helps indicate that the transaction was done with "card in possession." IF you are not sure that a store clerk is handling your credit card correctly, ask to speak with a store manager and ask the process that they use to process a credit card transaction at the register.
