I was immediately sceptical when I read through some of the babble-paper. I was so glad to see that someone out there posted info!! I remembered that a few years ago, soeone posted re computers having either RFID chips or something similar. HOPEFULLY, Apple doesn't participate in that -- and, 'ya never know!' my passport is from 2001, so I think I'm safe from the RFID. I was in SantaFe at the time, and didn't fill in my SS#, and refused to do so when queried. I told the (hispanic) agent to go ahead and submit the app, and I would be glad to deal with the consequences. no problemo. howEVer, with the so-called govt's so-called "Homeland Security", I doubt that my app for a new passport would so easily get thru! yuck, ugh, DRAT!! I have barely a year left. any ideas on that topic?? again, THANKS for your info! yes, the cr card rep was friendly and helpful. Chandra THANKS!!!
