Amazing security strip – NOT!

Here is an interesting thing.

I got a letter this morning enclosing a security code under an adhesive strip, with instructions to inspect the strip for tampering and to notify them if this was the case. The code was to give me access to a web site and the strip had not been tampered with.

Before removing the strip, I thought I’d try reading through it by holding it up to the light, both from the front and back but could not read the code. Then I decided to scan the strip into my computer … Below is a portion of the original scan, then again the same image with gamma turned up to maximum, and lastly with contrast maximised…

What amazing security !
