    Kind of gives that sub plot of trained war raptors in Jurassic World a lil credibility.

    Vindication for that guy who ran a business on lacing bullets with lard to kill ISIS with. God apparently liked his business idea.

    lol The Unified Federal Exam (EGE) in Russia
    [​IMG]
    which senior high school students write every March, which then decides if you get into a good university or not, is crazy about this stuff, fighting cheaters.

    First, everyone who goes in gets scanned with detector wands by police or private security, searching for cell phones and any other electronic devices, which are strictly banned
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG][​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Some schools even bring in the full scan gates, like at airports and such
    [​IMG]

    At the next checkpoint, you have to show your ID, specifically - your passport
    [​IMG]

    Cameras are everywhere, watching you
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Cellphone jammers are set up around the school
    [​IMG]
    Jamming is EVERYWHERE, even in bathrooms.

    And still, kids find ways to cheat lol

    Those who can afford it have bought high tech wearable gadgets, watches that let you store and read text off them
    [​IMG]
    This has led now to many schools banned watches from EGEs also haha

    Those of lesser means have gone back to old school paper cheat sheets, which girls, for example (they have the advantage here) hide in places where... shall we say the middle aged cops and security guards raised back in Soviet Union won't look
    [​IMG][​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    ;) haha

    This tactic, however, became less effective in recent times, as more female police officers are assigned to EGE checkpoints
    [​IMG]
    :D

    Invisible ink... I'll be sure to suggest that to those taking EGE over there next year lmao

    I don't have an English link, but here is a fascinating story: this man, Andrey Chistyakov, from Cherepovets, in Northern Russia
    [​IMG]

    Andrey was a good man, he was studying to become a school teacher.

    Then, one day, police detectives barged into his home and accused him of multiple thefts and other crimes. He protested his innocence, but they had a clear description of their suspect, and it was him, exactly. Some witnesses even IDed him in a lineup.

    He spent years in a cold, hard prison camp in Siberia, for crimes he did not commit.

    Only after he was finally released, and studying old family photos, he spoke to his mother, who admitted she had not just him, but two babies, one of which she gave up to a state orphanage.

    Thst identical twin of Andrey, it seems, grew up a notorious criminal (not surprising, from an upbringing in a Russian state orphanage). And Andrey ended up answering for at least some of his crimes, by mistake!

    He is now both demanding compensation from the government, and searching for the twin, who, if he can find him and make him talk, would prove his case for wrongful conviction.

    Wow!
