... and it's not a hard job if you know what you're doing. This appears to pull more rug from under the 'need' for ID cards and the NIR. The article is here: ‘Fakeproof’ e-passport is cloned in minutes - Times Online:
"In the tests, 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."
