European country forbids its citizens from smiling for passport photos
Do you really need to click on this link to know which one it is? http://cbs5.com/watercooler/watercooler_story_258152613.html I guess we should give neutral facial expressions for the photo, then smile (or frown) while in the airport Sounds like the technology (still) isn't ready for prime time.

Re: European country forbids its citizens from smiling for passport photos
New Zealand did this earlier this year, as part of giving in to pressure from the US to have passports with biometric information. Here is a press release of last June from the NZ Green Party's Human Rights spokesperson. A quote from it Most people arriving in our fair land have smiles on their faces and there is nothing wrong with having passport photos to match http://www.greens.org.nz/searchdocs/PR8903.html -- Sidney Markowitz http://www.sidney.com - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
