Cigarette machine security fails to stop minors

A Japanese company has placed cigarette machines in various locations in Japan. The vending machines use face-recognition software to determine if a person is old enough to buy cigarettes.

The legal age to buy cigarettes in Japan is reportedly 20. If the machine sees a face that appears to be older, the person is allowed to buy cigarettes from the machine.

The software, however, can’t tell the difference between a one-dimensional photo and a real person.

Well kids, gather up magazine photos of older people, buy your cigarettes and light up.

The company said it is now working on a more advanced system that will make sure each face belongs to a real person.

So, who will be the first kid to fool the new machines with a three-dimensional mask of an older person?
