That's nonsense, all you need to get a passport is a birth certificate. And all you need for a copy of that is a £10 note and 15 minutes time to fill out a form listing at least one parents name, maiden name (if applicable) and date of birth. And your place and date of birth. Anyone can get anyone elses passport really. It's pretty scary.

the passport cost so much because we like to bend over and touch our toes for the yanks :mad:

It's ONLy the US that want all this biometric stuff. I think you should be allowed the choice ie a 35 quid passport without the bio stuff but requiring a visa to get to the US or 72 quid for the US ready one. Forcing people to have this bio stuff on their passport to go to paris for a day trip it ludicrious.

I had no trouble at all entering the US this month with a non-bio passport from 1998 and no visa.
All you need is a machine readable passport - which pretty much all from the last 10 years (after which it expires anyway) should be - with at least 6 months left on it, and fill out a couple of waiver forms.
