ZingaliMan Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Just down loaded mine took around 6 times trying to get face reconnection accepted. So after all that I'm wondering how it is checked with just a big square barcode. A green tick to say your double vaccinated and your name. No photo on the cover so I don't get how this works going into a gig. Anyone could get a screen shoot which makes the whole thing senseless ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has ticking time stamp which would be hard to fake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has this as well, the time is across the bottom. I notice you can change from a Scotland pass to international travel in a wee box on the top right hand corner but there would be nothing to stop them asking you to change it so I don’t think a photo would work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was his birthday a couple of days ago. Was probably on a Bob level bender and now dealing with the hangover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost as if they'd thought about this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) The added features definitely make it impossible to fake, but the weak point is still the fact that the only bit that is actually scanned is a static QR code, which can still be screenshotted. Automatic scanners cannot tell the difference, and they are relying on a door steward checking the extra detail rather than just scanning codes. All of which is of course moot if you take a paper copy, which I assume will become the go-to method for those trying to get round the system.
