seriously? you think because they tell you 'it only has your picture' on it, you believe it?
how do you have any idea what's on that chip, until you break the security yourself?
I'll bet you a mint that there is absolutely nothing telling me what's on the chip when i get the passport returned. If I'm unlucky enough to be en-chip-ted, there'll be a little note telling me that for my security there has been a chip emplanted, and that's it. I will have no idea what's on it, nor any easy way to find out.
I just sent in for renewal...
so my guess is that it'll have picture, name, social security number, birthdate. I'll see if I can pull the info from the passport through my Bluetooth phone.
some dude is going to walk up to me in an airport and just say 'thanks' & i'll find my bank accounts emptied, now that's security.
