Remember when Ronald Reagan had defective software sent to the USSR and it screwed up the soviet pipelines?
It would be suuuuuper easy for the French or Chinese to put in a back door code into the passport reading. Just a simple if you see passport with the following numbers "X" overide all securtiy and let pass.
I thought US national security items had to be made in the USA?
Except that the coding for this thing is being done here, by US citizens with security clearances...

They do. And this one is.
Could someone tell me when mind-numbing IGNORANCE became a "point of view?"
What does that have to do with this story?
Dont listen to these goofballs, Accenture is an American Company controlled by Americans.
Maybe the point of the thread is that whether we like it or not, we are in a global economy. That is a fact; not an opinion.
Given that fact what global criteria should be used? I support contracts in Iraq and anywhere and everywhere to the coalition of the willing. I support contracts to pro-freedom pro-capitalist Mexicans such as Cemex.
They should get a much higher rung on the ladder than a socialist "Airbus" or Chicom slavelabor. So I argue that nationalist criteria should be replaced with value criteria. Likewise with people.
Value a person for his value system; not for his past or present nationality, ethnicity, etc.
