I had an Aussie ETA, but when I showed up in LA to hop on a 747 destined for Melbourne, there was no record of it. The girl at the counter was able to generate another electronic "Visa" in about 15 minutes and I hopped on the plane. I liked that. RFID in passports? Theory is cool, but I trust the governement with my ID about as much as I trust them with my money... -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 What's truly amazing to me is that on a continent full of cameras watching everyone's moves, Europe is LIGHT-YEARS ahead of us in privacy ethics and technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
