I don't know that I'd say that they are easy to get, but having one doesn't automatically mean that someone is an expert.

I haven't tested for any certifications for quite some time now (CCNA in 2001 was my last). I've had some friends tell me that some of the certification tests having been getting tougher. For example, the MCSE for Windows 2000 is supposedly quite a bit harder than the one for NT 4.

They can be handy when the person making the hiring decision doesn't know squat about IT.

I would go take a look at the Microsoft developer certification (used to be MCSD I believe). It was one cert that I heard was taken seriously.
