In my newfound role as news benefactor, I wanted to share one more article that caught my eye. Although a legitimate news story, I think it could also fall under "news of the weird" because of the Elvis factor.
Hackers expose security flaws with 'Elvis Presley' passport, reports CNN. How did they get the King's passport?!
Seriously, though, this is kind of a hack job on CNN's part. Because these "ethical hackers" figured out the security flaw in 2008. Timely. To be fair, this sidebar bullet point hints at the reasoning behind this story:
"Passport security in spotlight after apparent use of false documents in Dubai killing." But that tidbit is nowhere to be found in the online write up or the broadcast version of the story. Hmmm....
Call me old-fashioned, but I'll stick with my newspaper(s). Even if sometimes it's online.
