And the SA on GPS has been turned off. BTW GPS was completely funded by 
the US goverment for military use. It is still fully  funded and 
opereated by the USAF. The civilian use is an extra benefit.  British 
paper money has a silver stip to minimize counterfeiting - can't print a 
silver strip. In the not to distance future US currency and probably 
many others will have an  RFID device in the bills. By passing the bill 
past a scanner if they don't scan and the code is not valid the currency 
is not valid. That way you won't have to worry about printer resolution.

Me think there is much to-do about nothing here plus having little to do 
with photography.
