@sohkamyung Does everything really need to be spied on electronically?

It really takes only a few seconds to look at a passport and determine if it's a fake and to let someone through and that at least slightly respects peoples privacy.

But of course, instead of respecting their citizens privacy or freedom - they must spy on everything and find new ways to introduce more proprietary software into places (also, I reckon it's be far easier for a criminal to copy someone else's QR code and use that to get through the border than to steal a passport and pretend that as pictured is them).
