New US passports
 

My wife and I received our new US passports and I am pleased that they are the old stock of ones with out the new ID chip. I'm not overl paranoid but I've read too much about the chips being read by other devices and releasing privacy information. However the new ones are different in that they seem to scan the 2 x 2 inch photo onto some type of film and then laminate it to the page, not like the old passports where they actually sealed your picture under acetate. These look like they will be harder to mess with.

That reminds me. I submitted a passport renewal form a good while ago and haven't received a new one yet.

He's the man,
that never returned. :sniff:
