"The Guardian has cracked the so-trumpeted secure British passports after 48 hours of work: 'Three million Britons have been issued with the new hi-tech passport, designed to frustrate terrorists and fraudsters. So why did Steve Boggan and a friendly computer expert find it so easy to break the security codes?'" http://www.guardian.co.uk/idcards/story/0,,1950226,00.html Thank You Randall M ===================== You too can have your very own Computer!
