And in about 9 years, ALL US passports will be chipped (due to 10 year renewal). Don't you think at some point the chip might be necessary to validate it without delays/interviews etc? And for those of us that use them on a regular basis (frequent business travel), anything that speeds the process is good. I have been finger printed, palm printed, eyeball scanned & now dual eyeball scanned in different US Immigration programs to speed the border process.
As for identity theft, I had both passports stolen 6 months ago. I leave a trail of VISA receipts behind me. I post crap about myself on forums. If it happens, I will deal with it.
