with floating images of kangaroos that appear to hop up and
down making it virtually impossible for criminals to fake,
the government says.

Bwahahahaha yeah right..hologram stickers,,,,how hi-tech.


I hear the ones you guys are going to need has Big Macs on the first
version, KFC on the next and a clown on version 3.


You hear wrong. We now have RFID chips.

The RFID passport works like a high-tech version of the children's game
"Marco Polo." A reader speaks out the equivalent of "Marco" on a
designated frequency. The chip then channels that radio energy and
echoes back with an answer.

But instead of simply saying "Polo," the 64 Kb chip will say the
passport holder's name, address, date and place of birth, and send
along a digital photograph.

While none of the information on the chip is encrypted, the chip does
also broadcast a digital signature that verifies the chip itself was
created by the government.

The passports advanced features will be worthless in backwoods
countries like Australia and Canada as they have no RFID tech, a Mickey
Mouse hologram in the top left corner will suffice.
