Just discovered this here (by following a link, by the way, in one of the comments below this other amazing story):
He noticed an alphanumeric code printed on the key [of the Diebold voting machine], and remarked that he had a key at home with the same code on it. The next day he brought in his key and sure enough it opened the voting machine.
Technology, eh…

I anderstand there is a problem with the security and it seems funny that all the minibars sach as the XXXXX have the same key. But look at the problem form the producer XXXXX point of view. If we at XXXXX were to make an individual key for avery minibar.. and you know how clients in a hotel are always loosing the keys, can you immagine the difficulty, for the hotel managment and for the producer XXXXX to keep track of all the keys, al the codes etc.

I don’t know what it is, but something pretty obvious tells me your post isn’t for real…
I removed the overly spammy URL though and kept it though because I think it’s funny.
