Correct. There are many places you can travel with a manipulated biometric passport and the biometrics never get verified.

I've even heard of foreigners here in Bangkok selling their own passports to the black market guys and then going to their embassy to get a new passport. Rinse and repeat.

(Cash for selling new biometric EU passport) >> (cost of getting a new passport)

Interesting business.
