The cards will have computer chips in them, and these chips would be used to store informations and they could also be read wirelessly or remotely from up to 20 feet away, which could reduce the waiting time at border checkpoints. Deputy Assistant Secretary Of State For Passport Services, Ann Barrett in an interview said that : " As people are approaching a port of inspection, they can show the card to the reader, and by the time they get to the inspector, all the information will have been verified and they can be waved on through.
