------ Forwarded Message From: Edward Hasbrouck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: The Practical Nomad Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2005 18:15:19 -0700 To: David Farber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [IP] More on RFIDs in passports > Moss said that since the chip will only contain information > that is printed on the days page of the passport, it will not > matter, and that "if you wish to out your passport in the > microwave, you will still have a valid travel document that > we will recognize." Accroding to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: The proposed rule ... would include a damaged electronic chip as an additional basis for possible invalidation of a passport.... Under the proposed rule, a passport that contains a damaged, defective, or otherwise nonfunctioning electronic chip ... may be invalidated by the Department of State.... If the damage were caused deliberately, the passport would be invalidated upon discovery. The proposed regulation itself provides as follows: Sec. 51.6 --Damaged, mutilated or altered passport: Any passport which has been materially changed in physical appearance or composition, or contains a damaged, defective or otherwise nonfunctioning electronic chip, or which includes unauthorized changes, obliterations, entries or photographs, ... may be invalidated.
