Hotel Minibar Key Opens Diebold Voting Machines

"As if Diebold doesn't have enough to worry about!

On the Freedom To Tinker blog, Ed Felten, one of the co-authors of the recent
report 'Security Analysis of the Diebold AccuVote-TS Voting Machine'
<http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/06/09/14/212257.shtml?tid=158>, reveals an even
more bizarre finding related to the initial report.

It turns out that you can gain access to an AccuVote-TS machine using a hotel
minibar key. <http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1064http>

In fact, the key in question is a utilitarian type used to open office
furniture, electronic equipment, jukeboxes, and the like. They might as well
hand them out like candy."
