Got in line for automated passport control. Guy in front of me puts his passport in the scanner. It rejects his passport. He tries a few more times and then the whole machine crashes.
Then he moves left to the next machine and repeats the process until it crashes. Guess what her does next?
This dumb motherfucker ends up crashing all 4 passport control machines and even though they rebooted, the passport software didn't come back online.
Fucking users!
... maybe it was intentionally 💀
I had my old passport for 10 years and did A LOT of travelling with it, it only worked ONCE in all that time in one of those machines🙄😂. My new one seems to be much better with a 100% success rate, so far.
Denial of service !

Bank run at the surveillance machine
Maybe you are about to witness a heist
Blame the system. Not the poor dude suffering it.
Where others saw a problem, he saw potential!
I wonder how far from an exploit that was if it managed to brick the machines beyond re-boots. Was it the data in his passport or the data the machine got back from some server? Which part could an attacker actually control?
Saw a guy put a dollar in the soda machine, pushed button, no soda. So, puts another dollar in, pushes button, no soda. Did it once more before giving up, being mad, and 3 dollars poorer.
If I cannot get through, no one can!
I mean... to some extent, not his fault that his parents named him '); DROP TABLE Citizens;--
obligatory xkcd
Legend. Now you get to pass border control via a human.
I'd do the same thing 🤷♂️
Must have been machines secured by CrowdStrike.
A hero we all deserve.
