The tape that beat Japan’s fingerprint scanning machines


TBS News gives us a look at the tape that several South Koreans supposedly used to fool the fingerprint scanning machines at Japanese immigration checkpoints. Brokers sold them for high prices, but it only cost about 68 yen and a day of work to create the silicon fingerprint tape. South Korean police are in the process of investigating the scheme and finding out who was behind it.
