* On 6 November 1914, German officer Carl Lody was executed by firing squad at the Tower of London after being found guilty of spying. He'd travelled to the UK using someone else's American passport, but no suspicions were aroused initially because passports didn't contain any photo identification. Five weeks later, the US Secretary of State ordered the introduction of passport photos. This weekend, 100 years ago, the UK followed suit.
