Stay in your country guys and nobody will come over and do harm to you. <br>Leave the US army in the US saves tons of money. The only ones who benefit from this stupid foreign politics are Bush's buddies at Halliburton and now in the security business.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nojetlag]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on U.S. to abandon biometric passport plans, for realz]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/13/u-s-to-abandon-biometric-passport-plans-for-realz/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/13/u-s-to-abandon-biometric-passport-plans-for-realz/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well at least that was an on-topic comment, nojetlag. . .]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fdisk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on U.S. to abandon biometric passport plans, for realz]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/13/u-s-to-abandon-biometric-passport-plans-for-realz/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/13/u-s-to-abandon-biometric-passport-plans-for-realz/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's a shame.

Here in the UK the reports suggested the US had changed the rules oh so slightly as we (UK) and a few other sovereign nations not yet occupied, weren't quite ready for biometric passports yet.  So it actually turns out the daft US misconceived spy in the passport idea doesn't work after all.  Mmmmmmm........ doesn't that sound somewhat familiar?  They should investigate fully before they jump to conclusion and act upon false or misleading information.  At least we the free won't have to carry these stupid passports into the US before being treated like a total criminal upon entering the land of the "free" :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PT]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on U.S. to abandon biometric passport plans, for realz]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/13/u-s-to-abandon-biometric-passport-plans-for-realz/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/13/u-s-to-abandon-biometric-passport-plans-for-realz/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hopefully this will go away for good.  I was uncomfortable with the concept of having to give over so much personal information, but willing to go along with the data collection in an effort to make passorts harder to fake.<br><br>What I was not willing to go along with (and what prompted me to renew my passport early) was the government's apparent lack of concern for our privacy and safety in simply desciding to use RFID because it's the "in" technology.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan Schwartz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on U.S. to abandon biometric passport plans, for realz]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/13/u-s-to-abandon-biometric-passport-plans-for-realz/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/13/u-s-to-abandon-biometric-passport-plans-for-realz/</guid><description><![CDATA[As somebody who has a girlfriend not from the US who makes trips here, this is fabulous news. I've been through US immigration / customs a few times since 9/11, and it was already a hellhole run by complete a**holes before all of this new passport stuff.<br><br>Locking down our country is NOT the solution, people. Treating every visitors that comes to our country like a criminal the minute they step off the place is no way to treat them, so thank god this is going away.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shidoshi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on U.S. to abandon biometric passport plans, for realz]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/13/u-s-to-abandon-biometric-passport-plans-for-realz/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/13/u-s-to-abandon-biometric-passport-plans-for-realz/</guid><description><![CDATA[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!<br><br>Serves them right, the twats!<br><br>That's what they get for trying to take away people's identity-freedom!<br><br>Based purely on distrust of others, they simply did not want the computer to be hacked and their own "important" wrongfully identified....... shame......
