An official "reason" for the added technology was that Israeli spies had been caught attempting to get NZ passports . As far as I can see, if they had succeeded, they would have had false passports . Now, if they successors succeed, they will have "biometrically trustworthy" false passports . Not very cost effective . And in use . . .

All too true. :waughh: After all, we have had people with chips a shade higher up for many years - whoops - we better get those ******** right away, immediately. Bomb dispensing must be restricted to members of the LMVDI. :thumbs: |
