E-passport: E-Passports Can Be Hacked and Cloned in Minutes

Tests conducted for the UK's Times Online have concluded that the new high-tech e-passports being distributed around the world can be hacked and cloned within minutes. A computer researcher proved it by cloning the chips in two British passports and then implanting digital images of Osama bin Laden and a suicide bomber. Both passports passed as genuine by UN approved passport reader software. The entire process took less than an hour.

Eeep!

Exactly five weeks from now I'll be at ConChord, hanging out with friends and getting ready for my gig as Toastmaster. Eeep!

I just found out this afternoon that Joyce will be going; that means that my concert can include some Tres Gique material. Cool!

Does this mean that it's a good thing that I haven't completely settled on my set list? Err, I mean, ummmm,...

tibicina, are you still thinking of bringing handbells?

I think I've just acquired a couple more projects for this weekend.

Quote of the day

Younger Daughter: Who are you?

Me: Last time I checked, I was your father. Unless you've been replaced by a pod child, in which case I'm not sure.

21:42 ETA Definitely a pod child. My daughter is not 5'7" tall.
