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 in 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.....
