Is it just me or are the current spate of spammers telling us that it’s time to leave the country?  It is an election year here in the US…

If we know what’s good for us, we probably should leave the country. Where would we go? Who would take us?

I’ve been meaning to get me a new fake passport.  I hope they were able to copy the RFID chips inside, or I might be in trouble!

You just cut an RFID chip from a pair of Walmart(r) socks, tape it to the back of the card and walk right on through… Be prepared to run.

Ha! Yeah, they might be a bit confused when they scan your passport and a pic of some socks pop up on their screen instead of you.  Run, very fast.

I suppose you could wear the sock over your head.  You’d look like the picture and the screeners are not noted for being really smart…

Edit but they might try to put your through the x-ray machine…
