    PRISM

    One of those more-shocking-than-surprising stories, but Britain is eavesdropping on client-lawyer conversations and passing on the intercepts to its legal teams.

        Hacker retrieves German Minister of Defence's fignerprint using hi-res press photo and over the counter software, thereby proving the uselessness of biometric passports.

        Here he is, presenting his findings:



        Brilliant.

          The vast majority of biometric passports still use the photograph as the biometric identifier. There's a bit of personal information on the RF chip, alkong with your photo and a copy of the MRZ (machine readable zone - the 44 character long string of data at the bottom of your bio page).

            That's true, you don't give your fingerprints when you get an Irish passport.

            Although the United States Department of Homeland Security, since this month, now has all 10 of my fingerprints.

              There's been a shooting outside the NSA headquarters in Maryland.

              Reports are very sketchy at this time.

                You'd think that'd be the safest place to be!

                  Not if you knew people who worked there.

                  Appears to have been a case of someone in a car trying to run the security barrier, and being shot in the attempt. Appears that one person is dead.

                    There's now a clear need for increased powers to be given to the NSA. If there had been, this incident would never have happened.

                      I'm assuming there's already been a blowhard on Fox saying this is all Snowdon's fault, as before him, no-one really gave a rat's ass about the NSA etc

                        Well, now that it has been reported that the two guys in the car that tried to run the barrier were dressed in women's clothing and that cocaine was found in the car, I would expect Fox to take a different tack.
