One password cover to track you all
I can’t believe this stuff exists…
You can buy the “First Ever Traceable Passport cover”:
Yes, you can pay to install one more app, to be tracked in one more way when you have your passport on you, or to make it easier to find by anyone who walks e.g. in a station, just to intercept the signals sent by lost passports, and pick them up.
Smart. Really.
