   The point isn’t to stop all cheating, it’s to catch the most blatant idiots cheating.
What? No the point is to catch all cheaters.

Catching all cheaters is impossible for any reasonable amount of cash spent (remember all the possibilities people came up for that chess thing?) - which means they want to reduce cheating to a level that is acceptable.

Things they're not doing that could allow some high-level cheating:

* DNA analysis

* Full body searches

* Faraday cages

they could record the person taking the test with a video camera at the test site and make it much harder to cheat
