Most people know that beginning next January American boaters
reentering home waters from Canadian waters will be required to produce a passport at a customs office. The government is about to begin inserting "chips" in the passports. May be a good idea to prevent forgeries, etc, but there are some legitimate privacy concerns. It might be possible for unauthorized persons to "read" your passport information electronically, and then there's the possibility that the chips might have a use or two that we aren't being told about (to help fight terrorism, of course). Anyway, if you don't want a microchip embedded in your passport for whatever purpose the government might want to embed one, now is the time to apply or renew. It's apparently already too late in Colorado.. http://prisonplanet.com/articles/sep...0906idchip.htm |
