Liking the RFID chip - easier for law enforcement to get your data by you approaching them.

There are a lot of privacy advocates who are actively fighting against RFID being used in required identity documents. The RFID reader devices are not complicated, anyone can buy them, and they can easily be hidden. This means your identity and location can be tracked anywhere the readers are installed, even without you ever removing the ID from your pocket or purse. I wouldn't mind, for example, the greeter at WalMart addressing me by my first name, but I don't think I'd be comfortable with them recording every aisle I shopped in so that they could send me targeted advertising. When the government puts an electronic tracking device in your pocket then there's potential for abuse, and somebody is going to abuse it.

I don't go overboard about this stuff, though.

There was a guy I met at the airport in Taipei who kept his US passport inside a metalized mylar ziplock bag. He thought the chip inside his passport contained all of his vital biographic information, along with his complete travel history. He also thought there were people wandering around the airport with readers in their briefcases who were collecting this information to use for identity theft. :blush:

It took them only how many decades to figure out that a Green Card should be green? And then they name the chick "Specimen" like the semen of a rapist? Big brother is everywhere but he's stupid as sh*t. I'm glad that my gay looking pink card is the last one I'll ever have to lock up in my safe.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

That's why you place it in a little holder that stops the RFID signal - and only take it out when approaching the CBP. They usually issue them with cards with RFIDs in them.

Range is pretty small on those things.

Here is a "do it yourself" thing.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

I saw a really cool metal mesh passport wallet designed to fight the same things. I think it would be a bit more of a hassle for something you would want to carry in your slimmed down wallet on a day-to-day basis, however. :(

I thought the field values they picked were kinda funny...

Like Ms. Specimen would want to move to the US from "Utopia" How great are we, huh?!?

multiple threads from multiple forums all merged into one thread here in the Immigration News Forum about the new Green Card design.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Who's to say there are not readers positioned in places to track RFID signals as we walk past... No I don't have my tin foil hat on, but the guy in the airport used sound judgement IMO... who knows what info is on that chip in the passport....whistling.gif

They'll be selling this new version at flea markets all over Houston in no time. ;)

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan (D-TX)

Testimony to the House Immigration Subcommittee, February 24, 1995

I'm sure there are lots of things that can't be seen in these tiny pics they posted on the site.
