This is why chip-based IDs are superior, esp. with phones and NFC being ubiquitous.
ID chips can't be cloned, so you don't even need photo auth (unless you want to protect against stolen but real IDs).
- simoncion 17d ago> ID chips can't be cloned... ID chips can be manufactured, so they can obviously be cloned. Thinking like yours leads to the asinine situation we saw ten, fifteen years ago where insurers were refusing to pay out vehicle theft claims because "There's no way to clone an RF keyfob or RF immobilizer chip!". Spoiler alert: There were many, many ways to do that.
- SoftTalker 17d agoThere are also many ways to steal a car without having a key at all.
- rcxdude 17d agoYeah, it's more that they can, if designed correctly, be made very difficult to clone. (and that if in the middle is pretty important!)
