Hackers against biometric pass
http://www.sueddeutsche.de/computer/artikel/471/165997/
The german Chaos Computer Club (CCC) published the fingerprint of the german interior minister in their own magazine "Datenschleuder" (Means something like "Data catapult" or "Data sling")
The fingerprint is part of "biometrical collection" printed on the last page of the current magazine and is thought as a criticism against saving biomectrical characteristics in passports and IDs.
They also added a film which can be used to easily create a copy of Schäuble's (the minister's) fingerprint. It is possible to use that film to fake Schäuble's fingerprint for fingerprint scanners and has been successfully tested by the CCC.
The CCC agred that is an "enormous invasion in Schäuble's rights" who does the same to other people by himself.
I really like that action and it's not the first critizism against Schäuble, who is known as the person who wants to introduce so many ways of controlling people that it's called "Stasi 2.0" (An allusion to the Staatssicherheit of the old german democratic republic DDR, I think u know what they did)
And it definitly shows how insecure this biometrical data stuff is! And the high security was one of the main arguments.
The addition of all these new databanks and controll/"security" stuff really makes me worry and hope that the next german gouverment won't continue this way -.-

1984 was a fucking warning, not a how to manual. Why can't our leaders (European and American) get that through their heads?
