“Amazing. The hi-tech ‘solutions’ people get outfoxed by low tech responses. “

The fingerprint scanner at the entrance to the high-security area where I work hasn’t worked worth a damn for years. I’ve been trapped inside and couldn’t get out, outside and couldn’t get in and secured in the mantrap for 30 minutes trying to convince our SWAT team wannabes that I’m not a Chinese spy wearing a cleverly crafted rubber mask.

The really dumb thing is (and I’ve mentioned this to security before) is that I could bypass the entire system in about five minutes by other means. They really don’t want to hear it because it would mean spending money to do it right.

The irony here is that the same people that give you a hard time in security will probably turn right around and hire a chinese spy to fix the damn thing and escort the spy into your work area to do it.

Maybe they should use the ARGOS holographic? system, it’s either your hand (and weight) or it’s not.
