British Biometrics Passports TroublesomeCBN News
November 22, 2006
CBNNews.com - Britain is having trouble with its new biometric passports.
It turns out information can be stolen from the microchip they contain.
The London Evening Standard reports that it's cheap and easy to clone the chips.
That would give the thief the passport owner's personal information - and their picture.
Critics say it raises questions about the British government's proposed national ID Card plan.
A government spokesman says cloning the chip wouldn't give a thief any important information.
