Finally, A Mobile Passport To Speed Through US Customs.



The Wall Street Journal tech editor favorably reviewed this new app for world travelers.  Finally a way to breeze through US Customs when you arrive back home.  He said it works.  http://mobilepassport.us/   Certainly worth a look if you travel overseas.  You will still need the real passport, but this could making coming home a great deal more pleasant. 

Iowa, I think is the State, that is experimenting with driver’s licenses that will be on your smart phone – so they will never get lost (in the usual sense) and will always be with you (as most people never get more than a few feet from their smart phone).  Someday that will be normal, USA wide.  It helps make traffic stops much faster.

Someday the US Government will get up to speed on technology for things like those just mentioned, which could save much time and money.  However, improvements in hacking defense would be welcome before much more tech is deployed.
