How creepy is this? Many colour laser printers spew out a matrix of tiny dots - invisible to the naked eye - which identify the serial number of the printer and the date and time the printing took place. A research team led by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which broke the code, says the dot code was embedded in a deal struck between the US Secret Service and selected printer manufacturers some years back. The original purpose of the code was to identify counterfeiters but - as the EFF points out - there's nothing to stop authorities from using the information for other purposes. blogs.smh.com.au
