Chipped Passport Cloned In Minutes
Death Metal Maniac writes "New microchip passports designed to be foolproof against identity theft failed the test when a researcher was able to manipulate one in minutes. The cloned passports were accepted as genuine by the computer software recommended for use at international airports. According to the article: 'A computer researcher cloned the chips on two British passports and implanted digital images of Osama bin Laden and a suicide bomber. The altered chips were then passed as genuine by passport reader software used by the UN agency that sets standards for e-passports.'"
This has got to be a troll. You're talking about the Nazi regime, right? Government by intimidation and violence is "nearly right"?
The most rabid believers in American Exceptionalism are the exact same people whose policies are destroying it.
How about the government leaves us alone and sees to its actual responsibilities and, oh i don't know, obeys its own laws and attempts to embody American ideals? Just a suggestion.
Vote for Obama and you'll get a chance of seeing that.
