Yes, we all hate Big Brother and his technology which follows us everywhere. But this is just asking for trouble. On the US border at LA last year I was stopped, and questioned for 30 mins about why my Canadian passport wasn't chipped. Well... duh, because it's old and I haven't got a new one yet. So if that's the treatment you get for having an old passport, how would Customs treat your for having one with a chip which didn't work for 'some reason'? This is an extremely stupid idea.
