I get a bit tired of the paranoia, partly because it is a waste of resources better spent tackling genuine threats - including the government's own inefficiencies.

I dislike it every time I have to surrender my old passport because I don't trust the the Post Office. I've had a new passport go missing in the mail and been left hanging out to dry until I could replace the new, never received passport.

I keep my old passport for memories. It never leaves home. The only way it is going to fall into nefarious hands is if someone breaks into my home, does an absolutely exhaustive paper search while the alarm system is blaring and dialing the police, and finds it stashed away with other memories.

I suspect most folks who want to keep their old passport(s) do the same.
