No kidding, my Ontario license is so full of security features, it looks like I've got a holographic hatchmark beard. Have you seen the plastic money we'll be getting soon? http://www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes/

However, Apple really needs to allow users to install apps outside of the app store. It's ridiculous they don't allow me that without jailbreaking.
Phew, thank goodness they've now eliminated the only way anybody with a computer and scanner/printer would ever be able to do this.![]()
It can't defeat TSA security. It may, however, defeat the security at the counter of your local liquor store.
Unless that age is 5, I fail to see the difference between countries. Only kids think the ages are horrible. After your age is double all of those age limits, you realize how little the precise timing really mattered at all.Fake physical IDs seem like a very USy thing. Elsewhere people are allowed to vote, drive, smoke, drink (more spirited stuff than beer and wine), die in wars and go to college at (about) the same age, and they have mandatory, secure, federal-issued identity cards.
Ok, now that was a pretty good conspiracy theory.In other news:
Someone at THREE-LETTER-AGENCY is quite unhappy about Senator Bob Casey's move to blow up their nice honeypot, which over the past two years had collected numerous mugshots, and location and contact data of potential "evildoers".
Or does anyone know which (fake?) company was behind the app, and what the purported business model was?
There is no such thing as using this app "for fun." Once you open it and fill in the blanks, you've broken the law - regardless of whether you use the ID or not.
Yes, but he used the special word... TERRORISTS!! - that magical fall-back word that justifies anything where logical argument fails (in the UK we tend to use paedophile instead)
We also revert to pedophiles as a backup when terrorist fails.
That's not the app's fault.
Everyone can create a fake ID in Photoshop. What's next, ban computers and photo editing apps?
The senator must feel like he really accomplished something...Must feel good.
Obviously the right thing to do, but it can't be good that a simple image template can defeat TSA security and other U.S. identity systems.
It's Apple's app store. They can decide what goes in and what stays out. They built it, they maintain it, it's 100% in their control.
The iPhone is my device. I paid for it, I own it. I want the ability to install apps outside of the app store. It gives me the freedom to shop at Apple's app store or go crazy and install stuff outside of it. You know, similar to what you can do on your Mac (use Apple's app store or just download and install any app from any website if you want).
Pretty simple really. I can't believe there is so much negativity towards wanting a little bit more freedom.
i guess you think your the lawyer here or what lol
Sure u can use it for fun.... u can make a james bond badge for instance (you can also buy it in a shop if u don't know)...And let me tell you that the app it self is not illegal until you make a usable id that could be misleading, sold to some one, or used. By your logic no one should sell guns... but they do (yea real ones in real shops if u don't know)... until you load it up and carry it around or use it... theres no law broken![]()
At least in Canada, there's no way I'd ever be able to pass a home made ID as legit.

Here in my state, their are holograms, clear plastic, barcodes, Secondary photos, fingerprints and watermarks. There is absolutely NO WAY an average person could print this at home.
No, I'm not a lawyer, but if you knew where I worked you would know that I know what I'm talking about.
You should be utterly ashamed at these idiotic hypotheticals and defending the creation of false identification cards, which is in fact a crime in most areas. On second thought, I'm sure you're young enough to not know any difference, but I bet your parents would be ashamed.
The James Bond badge comparison *facepalm* How about you go grow some marijuana "for fun" and see what happens. I swear officer, I was just growing it as decoration in my yard.![]()
