Yesterday, I just went to the IMA and I have to use my Husky card to get it. However, I noticed that they were lax in the ID check. They didn't even bother to see our picture. After reading the No-Tech Hacking pdf, (if you are careful) you can sneak behind the ID checker and see what is in his screen. Perhaps, we can know what software they are using and what information being recorded. Based on this posting, a malicious student/person can obtain another student ID and walk into the IMA. If his/her motive is revenge to another student (ex. Alice), then getting to know Alice's looker from the binder would be beneficial.
