Same as Passport I suppose, but I don't know what checks the Passport Office run.

Virtually anything can be forged except fingerprints and iris scans. Nothing can be perfect.
I'll bet even now some Mission Impossible team is already working out ways round the fingerprint and iris scans.

I wonder what would happen if there were public tests of the system and someone found a way round e.g. hacking the computer attached to the fingerprint or iris scanner.

This tape will self-destruct in 5 seconds...
