Just had my first experience going through the ‘chipped’ passport line at Heathrow; pretty shambolic would be my first impression:
- no clear explanation of what those machines with the big lights and cameras are doing
- have to take your specs off for the (presumed) photo, when the passport photo has specs on…?
- seemed to be about 1/3rd of people getting rejected by the machines, most noticeably people with Dutch passports
…. all very strange…
