If it ever comes to getting it in the arm or worse, on the forehead...how many would allow that? Certainly not me...but I guess that's the next 'logical' step!
WomanInBlack User ID: 671963 Canada 06/13/2009 10:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Need to renew passport, how can I avoid the chip? YOU CANNOT COVER IT GOING THROUGH CUSTOMS. They need to SCAN the chip to get your information...therefore, if it cannot be scanned, it is invalid. We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people.
