$97 just to get into Canada

Well that's what my passport cost. What a ripoff. A few years ago you could drive in with 50 pounds of pot, no questions asked.

 

$97 just for a passport......thats dumb.

 

97 is a lot I agree

But a passport in Europe is pretty damned expensive too.

I hate the idea of passports.

 

well they do last for 10 years

 

I dare you espouse that NWO position on the conspiracy thread



hotwater

 

need a passport now? you flying?

i've been just using my drivers license. i thought they weren't going to change it (for people driving) until 2009?

 

97$ is the cover cost for greatness and freedom.

 

I went to the mall today to pick up some stamps and envelopes. I noticed a jean rack when I walked past a store - $94.99 for a pair of new jeans.

They. are. jeans. people.

 

Super sweet jeans!

 

Seriously, I went to Michigan for the holidays and we were GOING to take a little trip to Canada.

When the heck was that law passed? D:

 

Yeah, flying. Looks like you can drive till 2009 but you may have a hard time getting back in. lol

Crap! Just found out I could have gotten one of these for 45 bucks starting next week

 

is that the fingerprint eyescan one?

 

U.S. citizens may begin applying in advance for the new U.S. Passport Card beginning February 1, 2008, in anticipation of land border travel document requirements. We expect cards will be available and mailed to applicants in spring 2008.

The passport card will facilitate entry and expedite document processing at U.S. land and sea ports-of-entry when arriving from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda. The card may not be used to travel by air. It will otherwise carry the rights and privileges of the U.S. passport book and will be adjudicated to the exact same standards.

The Department of State is issuing this passport card in response to the needs of border resident communities for a less expensive and more portable alternative to the traditional passport book. The card will have the same validity period as a passport book: 10 years for an adult, five for children 15 and younger. For adults who already have a passport book, they may apply for the card as a passport renewal and pay only $20. First-time applicants will pay $45 for adult cards and $35 for children.

To facilitate the frequent travel of U.S. citizens living in border communities and to meet DHS’s operational needs at land borders, the passport card will contain a vicinity-read radio frequency identification (RFID) chip. This chip will link the card to a stored record in secure government databases. There will be no personal information written to the RFID chip itself.

 

sounds petty gay to me

i'll keep my passport thank you

 

How long until everyone is forced to get an identification microchip implanted in their ass?

 

i already have one man

 

How much did they charge for that?

 

priceless baby...no cost of my own taxpayer money

wooot wooot

 

Damn. I am surprised you don't need a passport to get form state to state anymore.

 

Do not worry that is coming. We are but a few years away from that happening.

Your papers please.
