The book doesn't have the "radio chip" in it. Plus, as a side benefit, it's a whole lot easier to carry. Don't forget, mtgoat 666,
you really "don't have" to get it. If you're offended, as they say "don't go away mad, just GO AWAY"........

Good post KASHEYDOG!
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Thanks mcfez..... ...I've got the Sentri pass but just went on line and got the
passport card. I figure it's a great back up just in case..........whatever happens. I always like to be prepared for the worst.....

Passport Book RFIDs
What I read said that the New Passport Books DO include an RFID in the Back Cover.
Given that the cover is substantially thicker than the old one, it seemed reasonable.
THAT isn't TRUE ?

Why make a passport card that kicks ass in all areas, except it's not accepted when flying internationally? So you end up needed multiple fricken
passports. Argh.

for 2hr45min watching sentri lane holders fly by while youre sitting there because once in your past you blew a .08!
I'll be interested to see if the ready lane helps us low lifes
|
Don't see how it couldn't help. If I were you I'd be getting your passport card tomorrow.
DON'T FORGET ONE THING... Just like Sentri lane EVERYBODY IN THE CAR MUST HAVE ONE. I think that's the time savings factor. Then they just have to
check the car over......

anyone using the Fast Pass lane at Say Ysidro today was hating life and the waste of their pass. It was full bumper to bumper going nowhere. They
ended up closing the lane at the booth. No one was backing out of the lane- so you know there weren't any Mexicans driving those cars...

Trouble with the "fast pass" lane is, it dumped you into just another lane with all the other cars. It was just a little ahead of some of the
cars. In the "ready Lane" it'll be a dedicated lane. The key to the success will be if they enforce it like the Sentri lane. So the smart a$$es who
think they can play dumb and don't have the documentation are turned around and sent to the back of the line. ALL THE WAY BACK.. .

Actually, all of my family's books have the RFID in it.

OOPS !!! Sorry bout that. My BAD.... ... Didn't know. Shows you how old
my passport is. (2005). Guess when I go to the post office tomorrow I'll see if I can get it updated too.

Yeah I know... I still like the idea of having both just in case. Maybe keep them in seperate places so you always have one somewhere.......
Plus it gives me a feeling of "POWER"............ And I HATE
STANDING IN LINE. I did enough of that when I was in the Navy. Today I'll pay just about whatever it takes not to be "IN LINE" or just won't go at
all. Just ain't worth it at my age............

soulpatch !!
Please refer to my post above ^^^ BTW..... I haven't seen anywhere that said they wouldn't accept the RFID in the passport. Unless I missed it
somewhere...
My attitude...... "It is what it is".
If you've got a passport get a card for $30 or get all three with the Sentri pass. Why not........ It isn't worth $30 for ten years or $3 a year to sit in that damn line. I don't care if it's $1000 or $100 a year.
I'M NOT SITTIN IN THAT 3 HOUR LINE. Get it........... Or just sit in the line and we'll wave at you and hand you a cold one as we
ZIP by..............
Some how I have a feeling and it's just a feeling that if you were sitting in line for 2 hours with another hour to go and I told you for $30 bucks I
could get you through the line right now you'd give it up on the spot. For a 1 time deal. Or at least I woud like to think you would. Wouldn't you
???? Please say yes.....

Ready Lane
I hate to throw cold water on this but I don't believe that the Ready Lane is going to solve a lot of the waiting in line problems.
Take a look at the Otay Ready Lanes. Wait times of an hour are common.....plus it's a zoo trying to get into the line.
If you can qualify, SENTRI is the best bet.

Agreed. Thank you, Terry.
But for those who can"t qualify, the passport card will be better. From what I hear the lanes wil be better as dedicated lanes. They'll be the ones
behind the Pueblo Amigo Hotel right next to the Sentri lanes when you drop down the hill into the lines.
