As we feared, it’s happening. See this post from Howl @ the Moon to see why you should be scared. It isn’t as if this wasn’t forecast.
Please remember lads that these biometric passport thingies are digital, and anything digital can be hacked (I’ve linked a definition for yez if you’re confused, just in case). If yez need any proof of this possibility just go talk your Dutch Government buddies about how their passport system was hacked and how face/fingerprint information was subsequently stolen. Oh yes – we have nothing but absolute confidence in your ability to implement things in this country, based on past performance
I’m writing a specification for a third level software development project that results in a device that scans biometric passports in purses. The results should be very illuminating.
