Ha! You think you're just going to leave the country when things get bad? Think again.
U.S. TO IMPLANT ID TAGS IN PASSPORTS The U.S. State Department plans to implant electronic ID chips in U.S. passports to allow computer face-recognition systems to match facial characteristics of the digital passport photo on the chip against a photo taken at the passport control station and against photos on government watch lists. The change is planned despite warnings that face-recognition technology has a high error rate. Critics suggest using fingerprint identification instead, as a more reliable technology. The new passports are scheduled to enter use in 2005. Washington Post, 6 August 2004 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A43944-2004Aug5.html
