E-Passports?
Hey all!!!

I'm going on my honeymoon in March, and my wife (we got married in September, but are putting off the trip until March...$$$ and all!) and I both applied for passports in November. She got hers two weeks ago, and it's a regular passport...I got mine today (weird...we applied the same day), and mine seems to be one of the new E-Passports with the RFID chip in it (not cool with me...I'm not doing anything illegal, but I really don't like being tracked & my personal info being transmitted to anyone who could possibly decode the information). Here's the page about it:

My wife laughed, because I'm by far the most paranoid of the two of us (and I've always said the paranoid just have a better idea of what's really going on!). But I thought it was really weird that she got a normal one and I didn't...

Anyways, not really any question or anything, just thought it was odd...

1. If and when I get a RFID passport...
I am planning on smashing my chip with a hammer. Ooops. Must have put something heavy on it. So sorry.
