"The Guardian has cracked the so-trumpeted secure British passports after 48
hours of work: 'Three million Britons have been issued with the new hi-tech
passport, designed to frustrate terrorists and fraudsters. So why did Steve
Boggan and a friendly computer expert find it so easy to break the security
codes?'"
