Face and fingerprints swiped in Dutch biometric passport crack
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/30/dutch_biometric_passport_crack/
The crack is attributed to Delft smartcard security specialist Riscure,
which explains that an attack can be executed from around 10 metres and
the security broken, revealing date of birth, facial image and
fingerprint, in around two hours.
