I noticed another person with a CIBC 2-factor authentication fob on their key chain last week. It displays a seemingly random number that actually only a special server knows, so if a password is stolen, so too must the fob containing the random number code that changes every minute. Without

Wait, that title is supposed to be, “Minister Comments On Drugs“. Wait, maybe, “Minister Makes Comments About Drugs”, is less ambiguous? The Conservatives wouldn’t dream of commenting on drug regulations, obviously.
