Passport tips?

A real man would carry his passport in a tinfoil fanny pack.

You do know this is a thing don't you, and that most savvy adventurer/travelers use them for keeping passports, credit cards and cash close? There are neck lanyard carriers as well. I use both. Concealed carry for places where you can't carry a gun.

Oh, and you wear them IWB, not OWB.

I've seen over 100 passports.
Swiss/Switz/Suisse passport has a hard cover.
Australian passport is like a book. It has lots of pages.

Note:it is experience from 2002. It may have changed.

Was in the 6th Fleet in the Med in the 60's on a Destroyer for a while.
The locals hated us pulling in to port. The prices of drinks and food would more that double while we were there.
To us, the prices were still low.

Pony up the extra dough and get the passport ID card too. Why? Because you can.
