Soon I must decide what nation to become an expatriot in, as eventually all travel will be impossible without being chipped. Oh oh, the mark of the beast!

Europe Moves Toward Issuing Passports With Data Chips

ORTO CARRAS, Greece, June 20 [~] European Union governments may soon issue passports containing computer chips embedded with digital fingerprints or eye scans, according to a plan approved by European leaders today.

The "biometric" data would enable police officers to verify the authenticity of European passports, which have been counterfeited in significant numbers in recent years, officials said at their three-day summit meeting here.

The chips would also be implanted in visas given to noncitizens of the European Union, making it easier for governments to keep track of foreigners as they travel through borderless Europe.
