new RISKS digest notes that New York is running out of numbers to assign to fingerprint IDs, and will begin recycling soon (expect that go to smoothly); pranking cellphones with trojan horses; autonomous armed police robots in Thailand (Oh, there's a good idea...); the usual stupidities about those who use SSNs for ID (wasn't that once illegal?); and more! This one's well worth a perusal.
