Perhaps some link to the original article may prove useful here.

I personally nearly marked the above post as Spam but I erred on the side of caution just in case I was being overly sensitive. :0

What whitepaper?

Are you referring to anything specific? Look up the authors, then. Regardless, you sure aren't addressing anyone who is actually producing the whitepapers.

Unless, of course, this is just spam. But that would seem inconsistent with your previous posts.

First off, whitepapers are just advertising. I don't believe I have ever seen a whitepaper produced by a corporation that wasn't.

Second, TR is just linking whitepapers that the industry puts out there. I'm not sure how you can chastise TR for something that someone at APC wrote. Or not understand who wrote it, whichever the case may be.

Third, and please consider my bafflement to be genuine, I would have expected from any expert having differences with the conclusions of another to provide a better reference (more obvious title and a link). Also, I would have expected something more of an analysis or at least a point you hold in contention along with your counter-argument.

Further, Suzanne Niles qualifications are easily discernible. You could expound upon how fit these are in the context of physical security.

Her qualifications are also described in the paper. They rather seem to suit one who edits papers and does presentations, in this case, given the research done at APC.

You may have also noted that the whitepaper is from 2004. (I assume that someone felt it is still relevant enough to link in the newsletter today - perhaps this is a bone of contention.) Yet I have not noticed the extinction of mag stripe cards. Perhaps others have noticed differently.

Run with it. You could have a very interesting post, indeed.
