And then there was that prisoner who got out of jail last year by pasting a picture of a movie star of the same race onto an ID. One needs to do controls like this. How often to airline security folks check that the wrong face gets them through? Faux guns & grenades get through; faces will too. Face recog by man or machine is just one of many heuristic measures that can be applied. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
