all allegations of fraud categorically dismissed as absurd
so:
purportedly the passport interview is to “prevent fraud”.
purportedly the biometric chip is to “prevent fraud”.
and yet my actual passport, when it finally arrives, is just put through the letterbox – in an envelope that says “this is not a circular” so you won’t accidentally throw it out, and with instructions about who to call if if you find a passport on your foyer floor that isn’t yours (or sticking it in freepost!!). no signed-for delivery, no i.d. required.
hell, i have to show identification to pick up my friggen parcels of marshmallows at the post office. yet my passport gets dumped on the rug with the latest bnp election propaganda pamphlets, the furniture catalog addressed to an old tenant, and a coupon for £5 off my next window washing.
is my biometric passport secure?
not so much.
