$44 million dollar airport security system defeated with tape

A South Korean woman previously deported from Japan was found to have passed through a biometric fingerprint identification system sometime last year, according to Japanese authorities – her method of fooling the system was decidedly low-tech. Reportedly she used fake fingerprints affixed to ’special tape’ – a method deemed workable on a recent episode of Mythbusters, I might add. Apparently the Japanese hadn’t seen the episode, or they might have thought twice about blowing nearly $50 million on it.
