 Subject: I WAS SHOCKED TO READ THIS: passport records available on line

I have just received an e-mail stating that the personal information in

our passports are now available online due to the move for globalized

screening of entries and exits of people in most, if not all countries.

These information have been accessed through the Schengen, American,

Australian and Asian database.

It is scary that they are doing this now. It does not only invade our

privacy, but exposes us to danger, if these information land on the wrong

hands. The matter that gives me a fright is that there is no strict form

of security to access the site. One only needs to type his name and

country of citizenship and the passport's identification page displays. I

myself tried to search and found my passport and was totally stunned to

see it.

I hope we can make a protest against this.
