Can someone show me that the system is broken and needs fixing?
Ask Interpol how many passports are faked each year. The whole system of passports world wide has been broken for years. It is outdated, cumbersome and very easy to fake. What needs to be introduced world wide is a system similar to what Hong Kong or the UAE have. Their system uses an ID card with a multi-layered security chip embedded in it with your personal data, in the case of HK, your fingerprints. To go through immigration you put your card through a reader, it then asks you to remove the card and step through the first gate where it then asks you to put one of your index fingers on a reader. If everything is OK a second gate opens and you pass through. No immigration officials and no passport. The whole process takes less than 30 seconds.
