Article Abstract:

The International Civil Aviation Organization wants to set up a foolproof passport identification using a combination of biometrics and secure, radio-tagged ICs. However, the drawback of such electronic passport is that terrorists can easily forge passport from non-visa waiver countries and can apply for visa-waiver passports with faked paper documentation.
