Indeed, the machine readable passports have been around for at least 10 years now (that's how long I've had one), the problem arises with passports issued to UK citizens abroad which, I'm told, do not have the machine readable strip on them in some cases. As for the biometrics, well I should be safe until around 2013 given the nice shiny new passport I got back in April. =) A. -- Adam Auden - UNIX Metal Geek whois bimble.net
