That microchipped e-passport you've got? US border cops still can't verify the data in it

Re: Just a TSA anecdote

@DNTP "...she closed my passport without even looking at the picture or comparing my name to my boarding pass,..."

I recall having a Miami Twice* moment when I was checking in at an airport in the Land of the Free. The agent "checked" my fine brown British passport, "Dieu et mon Droit" proudly emblazoned in gold letters across the bottom of the majestic royal coat of arms.

And then proceeded to ask me if I was Australian.

Icon is how I would have responded if I didn't have an aversion to intimate inspections.

*One of the running jokes through this Only Fools and Horses special is everyone thinks these two chancers from South London are from Australia.
