Default BBC short of news...?

What are the BBC playing at?
BBC NEWS | Technology | Hackers prepare supermarket sweep

The "source" of this story is a forum discussion FFS, can you imagine if they picked up on half the bollox on here and classified as news...?

Would be quite good actually.

Imagine a national debate on the usefulness of infractions and how many aliases PSL has.

"Snazy breaks something"

But everyone who uses the automated checkout could walk out with a bottle of wine that they haven't paid for.

One assumes that the supermarkets have carried out a risk assesment, and the saving from having unmanned checkouts exceeds the losses incurred by this type of fraud.

Don't worry Les the NAAFI isn't on the list of target supermarkets

The NAAFI shop always used to be the most expensive place to do the shopping!
