I gather that a big number of people nowadays travel so many times in a year and this can be really tiring for the customs. This has made the state department to come up with a way that is meant to speed up activities for both the traveler and the customs. They have introduced passport chip to all those who are acquiring passports at the moment and in the future. What this means is that all travelers data is stored in the passport that is together with their photograph. On the cover of the passport their is an icon showing the country seal and this is to enable you know that they are digitally enhanced passports. It has been realized that with this kind of a passport you are at a risk of your data being stolen. This happens when the passport is slightly opened. To avoid this you can tie your passport with a rubber band or you can remove the data by hitting the passport with a hammer which will completely remove the information so you do not have to worry every time you travel. You can get more information on this from the state department.
