My old passport expired last year - I’m hoping the rfid crap will be nixed before I have to get a new one (unlikely I know). But anyway, I doubt I would have got very far with my old passport photo anyway. I happen to have been wearing my band’s t-shirt at the time of the photo and my band’s name is clearly in shot.
I’m not sure a post “911″ USA would have accepted me with the words “NERV GAS” written on my passport. A pre “911″ USA seemed fine with it when I went to Las Vegas for Defcon in 2000, but THE WORLD IS A DIFFERENT PLACE NOW as you might regularly have been told by people whose job it is to know about these things.

I’ve still got one of those tees if you fancy testing out the theory? Long way to go to get turned back!

Hi John,
We’ve been in touch via brightbox support a few times…
I just happened to come across your personal blog and I thought I’d say ‘Hi’ as this post made me laugh. :-)
Cheers,
Richard

Hehe, hi Richard. Glad you’re amused. Can you ever take our support seriously again though now? :)
