Well, crap.

Not that I think I won't get into the country, but this is likely going to delay my actually getting out of the airport, and to be honest, if I'd known of this before I booked my tickets (Virgin's website doesn't have any info on this) I don't know that I would've gone. (Yeah, call me paranoid, but dude, I'm from a country with mandatory ID cards, and yet I can't help feel weird about this.)

Melissa has one, they have a chip, but that's about it. She didn't have to have her fingerprints taken or any of that crap. They did take a very demanding passport-photo, probably for some kind of weird "Spooks" type face-mapping purposes.
No idea what they want to store on the chips in future though ...
actually I have no idea what's on them now, apart from probably her address
