Latest Advances in Fake IDs and the Tools to Catch Them:

Advanced ID Detection presents session on fake IDs at IMI's 8t Annual Security Printing Conference

Fake IDs have long been a staple of college life and Advanced ID Detection has been at the forefront in the battle waged at liquor and convenience stores, markets, clubs, bars, and restaurants. About a year ago, there were increasing reports of Pennsylvania driver's licenses being presented being rejecting as fake, when to the naked eye they appeared to have valid holograms and perfect UV patterns front and back. This turned out to be the first wave of the assault on the integrity of the US identification system by Chinese producers of fake IDs operating over the internet as "ID Chief". On November 17, 2011, Advanced ID Detection President, Dr. Ted Kuklinski , will deliver a presentation on the very current issue of fake IDs like these at the IMI's 8th Annual Security Printing Conference being held November 16-18, 2011 at the Hollywood Beach Marriott in Hollywood Beach, Florida. . . .

Technology Super Bowl:
Fake Drivers Licenses from China Meet the Latest American Fraud Detection Scanners

While Chinese President Hu Jintao was getting the royal treatment in Washington this past January, there was another kind of China drama unfolding in Boston. Unlike the White House gala, the Beantown event was discreet, without fanfare. In fact, the behind-the-scenes competition unmasked in frigid New England relates to the underside of China’s overseas activities, specifically its encouragement and violation of intellectual property rights and America’s internal societal protections and security. . . What happened in Boston began as a rather straightforward criminal matter involving falsified identifications in what most would view simply as an effort by underage college students to procure an ID that would let them buy a beer on Friday night --- hardly a monstrous crime by contemporary standards. Underpinning the gravity of this matter however, is the aggressive program by the Chinese to exploit every opportunity to send dollars back to China by whatever means are available --- even when they undermine the values, laws, and perhaps the internal security of their own principal commercial customer, the United States. . . .
