Do you really think that they can't just use the machine-readable bit of your PRC to track your movements? Or that they can't type in your passport number?
You do understand that their typing in your passport number gives them EXACTLY the same info as the machine readable bit and almost exactly the same info as RFID, right? It just means they have to do more work in typing it, wasting your time as much as theirs...also, everyone else has normal passports, why do you need to be special? That's called being difficult. Not to mention non-sensical.
