An inventor from the UAE has come up with a unique device to catch fake passports. The machine includes a microscope twenty times stronger than similar devices, and can read airline tickets, barcodes and international ID cards. The invention is a first-of-its-kind and, according to The Ministry of Interior, marks a quantum leap in border security. It's been invented by Sergeant Amer Al Jabri from the Directorate General of Residency and Foreigners Affairs at the Ministry of Interior.
