Damaged US Passport Chip Strands Travelers
caseih writes "Damaging the embedded chip in your passport is now grounds for denying you the ability to travel in at least one airport in the U.S. Though the airport can slide the passport through the little number reader as easily as they can wave it in front of an RFID reader, they chose to deny a young child access to the flight, in essence denying the whole family. The child had accidentally sat on his passport, creasing the cover, and the passport appeared worn. The claim has been made that breaking the chip in the passport shows that you disrespect the privilege of owning a passport, and that the airport was justified in denying this child from using the passport."
But you take the cake. So basically you are giving movie proof that people abuse sensibilities about searches to hide things and then call out the TSA for searching in those places?
Oh wait, I get it, you are one of those people that believe the police should play fair and not try to hard to catch criminals?
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
I voted for Obama because Obama promised
And you believed him along with all the other college kids. Start voting for politicians who lie unconvincingly. Then you won't be left only with the ones who lie convincingly.
