Despite demanding world+dog gets one, Uncle Sam lacks tools to check 
crypto-signatures

The US government told the world that they must get their act together and 
every passport must have a digital signature on it, so that they can verify 
people are who they say they are on entering the USA, and that the information 
contained within the chip has not been tampered with.  We all complied...now 
what happens...we find out that the US government border controls have no way 
of verifying it...And the US government wants...nay demands, that the world 
trusts them and recognises that they know best.

Ironic isn't it...Still...Now we can all see why "The Donal" needs that big, 
long wall...:-)

Funny ole world
