Six year old girl hacks UK Parliament

Having a professional interest in security, and a personal distrust of politicians and their promises of providing the same, I was not at all surprised by the findings of a BBC TV investigation that has just been broadcast in the UK. Inside Out, a news reporting and investigative documentary series that most often homes in on fairly lightweight consumer stories, decided to send their reporter to the heart of the UK Parliament, the House of Commons, and test the security provided by one of the most heavily guarded buildings in the British Isles. I’ve attended working group committee meetings there and I know only too well of the advanced information that needs to be supplied, the passes issued, the body searches an x-ray machines at the entrances, the small army of fully armed police that patrol.
