Paranoid are we?
According to
Wired:
"But be careful – tampering with a passport is punishable by 25 years in prison . . . Forget about nuking it in the microwave – the chip could burst into flames, leaving telltale scorch marks. Besides, have you ever smelled burnt passport? . . . The best approach? Hammer time. Hitting the chip with a blunt, hard object should disable it. A nonworking RFID doesn’t invalidate the passport, so you can still use it."
But some of us actually want to pass through immigration without problems & as fast as possible.
