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
