Unfortunately we don't have "biometric" passports
Of course, the really stupid and annoying thing is that we DO have biometric passports, and have had for many years: What else is the photograph but a biometric identification system? The real underlying goal of all these recent calls by the police states of america and their proxies in the UK for 'biometric'passports, ID cards, etc seems to be more along the lines of 'Let's build a huge database of every fingerprint in the world'. Possibly someone very high in the relevant civil service has a bet with a friend that there are duplicate fingerprints somewhere, and this is their attempt to settle it once and for all.
