Thus, I don't know how to react to that, but it speaks volumes about the desperation of punsters.

I'm still curious about this one,
(apart from the ghosts) is that really a telescope as they claim, or is Goddard building a transformer?

I'm sure we (US citizens) are paying top $ for that uncrackable (or should that be 'on crack-able'?) feature!

Didn't we get a question on hacking photographs of smartcards in QA?
If not, wait for it, it'll be along soon!

I see an opening for OpenCV here. Hmmm, or perhaps that's aNewCV - depending on the attitude of management and HR.

Security is an illusion, so why not perpetuate the illusion of security.
Along these same lines, I think I'm going to carry a picture of a German Shepherd in my wallet to scare away pick pockets.

Photo of Beiber & Dion would be far more effective,

I was considering pictures of mousetraps, but your solution is better, because mousetraps aren't loyal, but my own picture of a German shepherd wouldn't bite me.

Guys working at the Atomic Weapons Establishment - many, many years ago - competed for the silliest successful ID pass.
A card bearing the photo of Ayatollah Khomeini, and the lid from a tin of sardines, each passed the Security Guards.

I worked for ICL in Oz many years back. Admin guy gave me my ID card with a merino sheep mugshot (I'm an NZ'er). Brilliant!

Standards are only suggestions, just like Stop signs.
No 2 of my *Smart Cards* (USMC, NWS, State Govt) have the same features, go figure. And its a real pain in the butt as my laptops haven't supported PCIMICA for quite some time. At least the NWS variant has a RealID marker on it

Have you ever produced anything to government requirements?
I dare say that the chips weren't available, or were rejected, for some reason or another, but the requirement read something like:
PH3-000067.AA67B: All ID cards must have a visible smart chip.
If thirteen @nal twits can't tick each a box related to that, the consignment's rejected.
