I find this hard to believe that it is happening. It makes me think that our own government doesn't want it's citizens to have these jobs or something is sinister about all this and we are not to be in the know.

Fox in the hen house.

I wonder if the accessing of Hillary Clinton and John McCain's passport records were done by a couple of these foreign contractors. Wouldn't that be the icing on the cake!

Looptards. I will order mine from Singapore if you want quality you gotta shop with the quality manufacturers.

Why should I buy a cheap Thai or Chinese imitation When I can get a chip that will last? Probably better paper too.

When are people going to wake up? The whole idea of a passport is a joke! Did any of the 9/11 terrorist not have a passport? Lets not be a bunch of idiots. The passport and the homeland rejects can't do a damn thing about anything because they will just knock them off when they need them. The only difference is it will cost 4K instead of $250 for a good one.

We need to stop wasting money on crap like this so people can feel good about their focus groups and put the money into tracking down the core terrorists. Not a jumbo database of everyone that 'could be' a real f**N spreadsheet with the 12000 or so extremists on it. Not garbage systems that collect anything and everything and do no good at all.

We can't trust them with international policy unless we need Dick Cheney to shoot someone in the face after we liquor him up. We can't trust them to run the country and economy. We can't trust them to protect us from manufacturers and drug companies because they all take kickbacks from them.

Now we can't trust them to follow simple instructions like develop a passport chip system that we manufacture and have sole rights to, that keeps our borders safe. We could have let our kids do this without having it mucked up.

Idiots! dammit I could have done this on a Saturday in my spare time and got it right.

Gee why is everyone so angry at the Bush administration? Look around.
