Strange, so does this mean that if you use a stamp multiple times they
will charge your account or credit card?

A bloke on "Today" implied that they'd consider the postage to have been
not paid on packages whose stamp barcode has previously been scanned.
So they've designed a broken system and then dropped the broken pieces
on the general public. I can't see how this is any better than a book of
stamps.

Not smart
Eh? It's the only way this sort of thing can sensibly be done. Or do you
have a better idea?

Yes, I can. Ensure that the same bar code cannot be printed more than
once by doing the printing from inside a custom application in Java or
possibly something that is downloaded and installed?

And this will stop them from using a driver that prints to a file that
can be repeatedly printed? Or photocopied?
