You know that Passports are slower to check then 52 other types of Drivers Licenses? Where did you get that information? Now if you are basing this on personal observation, and that includes watching the TDC thumb thru someones PP BOOK... Yeah not that anything else in that book is relative to their jobs of checking Photo+Name=Boarding pass info
I find that counter intuitive as the PP Book has a larger picture, larger font with my name on it making it easier and faster on the TDC to obtain that information.
