*Bad* Passport requirement change.

The State Department is prosing to require people "some" people (for an unknown value of some) to fill out a new form to get a passport.

http://papersplease.org/wp/2011/03/18/state-dept-proposes-biographical-questionnaire-for-passport-applicants/

The proposed form is Form DS-5513.

The deadline for comments is midnight Eastern time *today*

I'll post my comments later. So far I've hit things like date of birth for parents and siblings. Which I don't know closer than month/year. (Het it's been 40 years since I lived with my brother or my mother).

An insane amount of stuff about birth. And other info nobody is going to have. And they claim it'll only take 45 minutes to fill out? More like *months* And thousands of dollars to a private investigator.

ETA: Arrgh. The deadline was yesterday. :-(

Um, it says that the deadline would be the 25th -- which was YESTERDAY.

Easy to kill, suggest to the Birthers that every candidate for *any* elected office should fill out an identical form...

Completely...
