My renewed passport came in the mail yesterday, and I'm surprised that it didn't come with a RFID-blocking sleeve. Apparently they send them out with passport cards:
http://www.darkreading.com/security/privacy/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=213401555 Is there a reason they send them with the passport cards but not with the sleeves? The new passports have an extremely stiff cover, and I can't get it to close completely. After opening it, it stays open at an angle of about 60 degrees. If I squeeze it closed as much as possible, it goes down to about 30 degrees, which is still well over an inch. I'm not exactly surprised that the government got it wrong, but I'm still disappointed. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
