Comments on: New Keyless Entry System For British Parliament! http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/10/20/new-keyless-entry-system-for-british-parliament/ Summum nec metuas diem, nec optes - Marcus Valerius Martialis Tue, 02 Aug 2011 22:27:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Uncle Pinky http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/10/20/new-keyless-entry-system-for-british-parliament/comment-page-1/#comment-70020 Uncle Pinky Sun, 21 Oct 2007 00:59:45 +0000 http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/10/20/new-keyless-entry-system-for-british-parliament/#comment-70020 People tend not to wipe off the screen leaving a wonderful, oily, whorl-perfect prit for the next person to come along. A rubber glove full of warm water will do the trick 9 times out of ten. Think the lads at Mythbusters did one of their crime specials with this element. If I recall correctly, they were pretty disgusted at the ease with which these could be bypassed. I think they just xeroxed Grant's print or some such. Pretty sad, really.

(It was relatively big insurance company, and the security folks had to be good at what they did.) These ones are probably very expensive. I asked her about this after I heard about a guy in Hong Kong or Singapore who lost a finger and his very high end vehicle; she also said that is this why the fingerprint only readers are falling out of use. I guess the Brits are a bit behind tecnhnogy's bleeding edge (as it were).
