Company working for China secret police to issue passports to Americans

Snip: < Wednesday, March 8, 2006

In an era where Americans will have commercial operations at six key ports operated by Dubai Ports World, their future passports will be issued from a contractor for the China secret police.

US courts forced the U.S. government to allow OTI in on the USA biometric `epassport' program just weeks ago. OTI is the contractor for China secret police for the biometric ID card now coming online, (www.smartcardalliance.org./newsletter/April 2003.cfm).

That means that the same company that works for the China secret police will have a role in providing all U.S. citizens with their future passports—by court order.

National ID smart cards, already at work in China, are used to spy on students.

According to American Banker online, "Chinese officials who administer a graduate school admissions exam are using China's national ID smart cards and contactless terminals to identify test takers.

"Prospective students who carry the new Chinese national ID card, a contactless card that is replacing a paper ID card, must tap the card against a terminal so examiners can verify their identifies. Those with the old ID card place it near a terminal that uses a special light to see if the photo has been tampered with. >

1. They're not a Chinese company
Google and Yahoo collude with the Chinese gvt also, lots of companies do. There are not a lot of smartcard/biometric players and foreign companies are ahead of US companies on this technology.
