Card Locks Thwarted by Shopping Club Card

hal9000(jr) writes "A recent column ('Social Engineering, the Shoppers' Way') on darkreading.com shows how easy it is for a pen test team to walk into a supposedly secure facility using a shoppers club card because the man trap feature was enabled. Man-traps allow people to enter an outer door but not an inner door similar to ATM kiosks. Once inside, of course, they had the run of the place."

    then I am apalled.


    No, this is appalling:

    Her: "For once I wish a guy would take a dump on my chest."
    Him: "That, is disgusting. I'm appalled. I can't believe no one has taken a dump on your chest."
    Her: Looking soulfully into his eyes, "Would you be that man?"
    Him: "It would be an honor and a privilege."

    Yeah, yeah, mod me down as offtopic. Can I help it if I think of that scene when someone says they're appalled?

    Besides, you know, it's funny. You would never suspect that everyone at this school is a professional dancer.
