WTF: What is the purpose of printing a chip card photo on ID cards?
-
US-Senator Ron Wyden asked this the Committe of Rules and Administration:
Moreover, in contrast to the executive branch's widespread adoption of PIV cards with a smart chip, most Senate staff ID cards have a photo of a chip printed on them, rather than a real chip.

I'm sure we (US citizens) are paying top $ for that uncrackable (or should that be 'on crack-able'?) feature! :|

Didn't we get a question on hacking photographs of smartcards in QA? If not, wait for it, it'll be along soon! :laugh:

Security is an illusion, so why not perpetuate the illusion of security. Along these same lines, I think I'm going to carry a picture of a German Shepherd in my wallet to scare away pick pockets. :-D

Standards are only suggestions, just like Stop signs. No 2 of my *Smart Cards* (USMC, NWS, State Govt) have the same features, go figure. And its a real pain in the butt as my laptops haven't supported PCIMICA for quite some time. At least the NWS variant has a RealID marker on it

Photo of Beiber & Dion would be far more effective, ... when they fall down foaming at the mouth you can get your wallet back.
Sin tack the any key okay
Probably against the Geneva Convention, that one. :sigh:

I was considering pictures of mousetraps, but your solution is better, because mousetraps aren't loyal, but my own picture of a German shepherd wouldn't bite me.

Have you ever produced anything to government requirements? I dare say that the chips weren't available, or were rejected, for some reason or another, but the requirement read something like:
PH3-000067.AA67B: All ID cards must have a visible smart chip.If thirteen @nal twits can't tick each a box related to that, the consignment's rejected.I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I think the turd of a German Shepherd in your pocket may work better... :)

I worked for ICL in Oz many years back. Admin guy gave me my ID card with a merino sheep mugshot (I'm an NZ'er). Brilliant!
