"While the United Nations held a travel conference in 1963, no passport guidelines resulted from it. Passport standardization came about in 1980, under the auspices of the ICAO.

ICAO standards include those for machine-readable passports.

This enables border controllers and other law enforcement agents to process these passports more quickly, without having to input the information manually into a computer."

Jeeze...we learned obfuscation fucking years ago (torrenting was punishable then, probably is still, and a few people may be made examples of, by ip tracking etc as subscribing becomes more disliked).

They're not stupid, and they're NOT example-setters (very few exceptions) - for myself.
