Description	The main potential advantage of electronic (or biometric) passports is increased security. This will only be effective in longer term as it will take some time to equip borders with the necessary verification technology. In any case electronic passports make counterfeiting more difficult and biometric passports also make the misuse of lost/stolen passports more difficult, which is good news not only for governmental institutions, but also for every passport holder.
