I didn't get exit stamps out of the US, Canada, Switzerland, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.
Have to agree I haven't been to a whole lot places that gave me an exit stamp, I can just recall Turkey...
Need to do more traveling outside of Europe I believe!

Argentina?? Are you sure about that? Argentina does a really good job of being stamp happy on a passport. I've gone to Argentina several times and my passport is the bearer of an entrance and exit stamp for every time. There are some other stamp-happy offenders out there too.. like Botswana, Egypt, Jordan, South Africa, and Tunisia.

Most places I visit will do it if asked (including the USA). I even got one in Skagway from a CIS guy when we came back from a drive to White Horse Canada. It was a picture of the White Pass and Yukon Railroad steam engine.

What do South Africa and Botswana do? And, whatever it is, does South Africa do it on every entry and exit? I am travelling around Southern Africa in Apetember and October on a UK passport and I may have to count pages...

South Africa has one small (postage stamp) entry and exit stamp that is stamped every time (at least in my South African passport - maybe more for non-sa passports). They do however seem to conserve space - I got 4 South African and 2 Zimbabwean on about half of one page so nothing like the US where every time I enter they seem to look for a new page to put the stamp in the middle of on entry)

No exit stamps from CDG out of France to US (I don't even recall officials being present when I left CDG). Oddly enough when I went to austria (from Germany, by car) they insisted on stamping my passport, both in and out. The German family I was with had to stop and rent safty vests (in Germany you need one vest per car, in Austria you need 1 for each person over 18?), and do some paperwork. Didn't stamp the German residents passports, of course I stuck out like a sore thumb with them but I didn't think they did this when you went EU country to EU country.

I jjust read your year old article, while it deos say that they are speaking with carriers in no way does it say that "they are about to start" anything. For that matter nowhere in the entire press release did it state anything about "stamping" passports, let alone anything regarding US citizens. IF you are not/were not familiar with the pilot program which they cite, foreign citizens were required to input their flight number and do the fingerprint thing, they got a receipt in return. it was a joke.
