Emergency ATM PIN

There was this discussion going on among us about the emergency PIN if entered in ATM gives out the cash but also alerts the police. This emergency is meant to be the reverse of your original PIN. This discussion was based on numerous mails that keep coming to our inboxes everyday. During this discussion spawn said that as his PIN is a palindrome what will be his emergency PIN. With that we ended the discussion as it was in all probability just a hoax. But when I checked it on internet then I found that although it has not been implemented anywhere it has been proposed a lot. And for implementing such a step a bill has been passed in the State of Illinois in February 2009.
And yeah if implemented you cant have such palindromic PIN's so spawn you gotta change it whenever it happens in India :)
