Passport reader/scanner
 

Does anyone knows of any airports/countries that has the option of using the automatic passport reader/scanner instead of going through Immigration officer for passport stamping? Thanks

Similar to what you are asking, though not exactly, the US has Inspass if it's still operational:

I don't think anybody just scans a passport, they need to make sure the person using it is the person's whose passport is being used.

Malaysia is issuing passports to its citizens with embeded 'smart cards' type technology so in the future, they can easily do a scan.

However, is guyin really asking if any country would automatically scan a foreigner's passport? That would be very unlikely, except possibly for bordering countries on friendly relations.

Yah, I am talking about scanning departing/returning citizen passport at immigration.

Guyin, then why would you care unless its the country of your citizenship?

Would this 'perk' would be the deciding factor for which country you would like to grace with being a citizen? http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif
