I can’t imagine how they are securing the information needed to make the ID strips in a foreign facility. Of course, they only went to this new passport so it would not be reproducible-heh!

My point here is that anytime you store data on a database, lots of unauthorized eyes are going to see it and that information is going to leak out, no matter what you do. That’s a lesson to keep in mind when Hillary makes her pitch for socialized medicine. If you have an abortion or are treated for a venereal disease, a thousand bureaucrats are going to get their sticky little fingers on your files. With people like Hillary in charge, that confidential data may well be used against you, just like the Clintons used classified FBI files against their political enemies.

And by the way, of course it would be contractors at the State Department who would access these passport files. Contractors outnumber government employees at many, maybe most, federal offices in Washington, sometimes four to one. The gummint can’t attract the technical talent it needs with its antique pay scale and benefits and its factory model of employment.

“Hmm, I wonder when Angelina Jolie was born. I’ll just look at her file. Hey, my Aunt Joan has the same middle name.”

Point is that sometimes its just bored guys pawing thru the records and not a conspiracy. Doesn’t make it less illegal, just less nefarious.

You can get a valid passport with just a phony affidavit that you are who you say you are ! Nothing is ever verified. I’d guess 40 % of passports from the incompetent state department are obtained through phony documentation.

I don’t even want to discuss those fly-by-night “1-hour” passport places…..

these are not people’s private passports being made overseas with countless amounts of private data … These are blank passports where anybody can “fill in the blanks” and when they are done well, they are also the very hardest counterfeits to detect because they are for all intents and purposes, actually real passports.

Scary? That does not even begin to cover it!
