Yahoo News - New Passports Will Have High-Tech Features
AP reports, "The State Department said Tuesday that it's adding two security features to the new electronic passports that it will start issuing in December...all new U.S. passports issued by the end of this year are supposed to have a microchip containing the holders' name, nationality, sex, birth date, place of birth, issuing office and a biometric identifier — a digital photograph." :: Ok, so this is not the MOTB (Rev 13:16-18), but mandatory identification is definitely something to keep an eye on.
