In an e-mail sent out Monday the company said the certificates will actually expire on Thursday, July 19, 2001. That means users have only until Thursday to correct the DummyKeyring problem rather than Saturday.

The cameras in this case are the property of the Tampa, Fla., police department. About 100 people protested a new security system that scans faces in the city's crime-ridden nightlife district to search for wanted criminals. The video cameras snap pictures of faces in the crowd and analyze 80 facial points between the nose, cheekbones and eyes to compare them to a database of 30,000 criminals and runaway teens. In a related note, sales at novelty shops of fake glasses and funny noses have skyrocketed.
