Implementation
by gautam on July 14, 2008

Recently in order to curb smoking habits among the underage more than 570,000 cigarette vending machines were fitted with RFID readers so that their age verification cards could be checked before cigarettes were dispensed to them. People without age verification cards could make purchases using the face recognition system which recognized the facial features of the person and in case it believed that the person is over the legal age of twenty then only the cigarettes were dispensed to them but one of the reporters managed to fool the system using fake pics of a fifty year old man and female celebrity in her thirties and get cigarettes for himself.
Realizing this folly the company is now working on advanced recognition which would be foolproof. Let's see when these machines make their mark and prevent the youngsters from spoiling their lives.
