BTW, you can't take the cards apart. They fry themselves if you try. Uhh. Well, not exactly. The cards don't fry, but presumably the *key* inside them does. I've seen a SecurID card which had been pried apart; when you put the two halves back together, the LED went on again, apparantly into some "initialization mode". One assumes that the internal key had apparantly been fried; it was, however, apparantly possible to reinitialize the card with a new key. This may not defeat their security, but it may make it possible to recycle their old cards instead of buying new ones.. - Bill
