At any of the London Airports IME it is now very rare to queue for less

you avoid this queue if you have a "chip"" passport.

Ah yes , arn't they wonderful? All your details stored on it unencrypted
which
can be read from a few metres away with the right machine.

As they are the same details that can be read with a set of eyes, why is
this a problem?

How many eyes do you know that have x-ray vision and can read the passport
when its in someones pocket?

NO, but plenty of people get to see it open


You bank details can be read with a set of eyes too so why not post your
online login for us?

since when has my online online login been readable by a pair of eyes?
