Forged Elvis Passport Accepted By Airport Security
The Hacker's Choice says it used source code intended for the backing up of RFID passports to create the fake credential. 'The weakness is in the way the system has been rolled out', the group writes in a blog posting. 'The terminal accepts self-signed data'.
Border control apparently uses different scanners, so the forged passport may or may not work everywhere. Still, it's a bit jarring to see how easily Elvis could get through at an airport.
The group's proposed solution? Go back to human-centric security.
'Never let a computer do a job that can be done by a human', they say. 'We know that humans are good at border control. In the end they protected us well for the last 120 years. We also know that humans are good at pattern matching and image recognition. Humans also do an excellent job 'assessing' the person and not just the passport. Take the human part away and passport security falls apart'.
The King has spoken - and we suspect there are plenty of suspicious minds listening.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
