Microchip "E-passport" Rollout Begins

The federal government this week began the rollout of new electronic passports embedded with radio microchips holding personal data. But the first travelers granted new passports - at the State Department's new Colorado Passport Agency north of Cherry Creek Reservoir - reluctantly embraced the idea. Anything to "make our skies more safe," said Chris Hart, 34, on his way to Mexico with his bride, Alycia, for a honeymoon. "As long as it's not in my skin," he said of his chip, "which is probably what's coming next."
