Chancellor Darling’s Gummy Fingers

2007-11-26

Just would like to draw your attention to Ben Goldacre’s blog on the faking of biometric details. It makes for interesting and quite fun reading. I will be cooking up my own edible and fraudulent fingerprints soon to see if I can fool the fingerprint reader on my computer.

For now though, watch this excerpt from the Mythbusters to see how woefully inadequate some of the systems the government will be relying on to secure your information will be.
