--- Passport is a biometric passport which includes a chip, which can be used at the automated ePassport gates instead of having your passport checked by a Border Force officer. The chip holds the same information that is printed on the passport’s data page: the holder’s name, date of birth, and other biographic information. In some countries, including Germany, ePassports include two fingerprints as well.---

---There are currently 122 countries with ePassport programs which Acuity estimates are producing 124 million ePassports annually. Most ePassports are valid for 5 or 10 years and there are now more than 675 million in circulation. Current annual revenues are in the $4.5 Billion range. This is expected to grow by about 25% by 2020 reaching more than $5 billion annually with more than 817 million in ePassprts in circulation.---

It's almost as if the borders of our nations are more like check points to verify your DNA and make sure you are participating in the beast system in order to travel.

The are currently 130 countries worldwide with National eID programs producing just over 600 Million ID cards a year and generating just shy of $10 billion in annual revenues. Acuity expects card volume to reach nearly 800 Million cards per year by 202o with revenue edging up to just over $10 Billion annually.

In addition, these national ID programs are also the opportunity to create a secure digital identity for each card holder. These secure electronic identity cards, generally referred to as eID cards or simply eID's are opening the gate to secure and trusted on-line services.
The most common applications for these smart cards are in smart travel documents, electronic ID's, electronic signatures, municipal cards, key cards used to access secure areas or business infrastructures, social security cards, etc.
