Lithorn writes "The watchdog group Privacy International has announced a "competition to find the world's most stupid security measure." According to a Wired article, the group received over 500 entries in the first 48 hours after announcing the contest. The competition guidelines explain how to enter by 15 March. The panel of judges includes journalists, scientists, and officers of various foundations. The winner will be announced at the Computers, Freedom & Privacy conference in April."
