The government says it is imperative for our National Security that everyone
have a passport immediately.

To show how serious they are, they are thinking of delaying implementation
of the 2004 regulations until 2009.

I feel safer already.

Has there ever been a discount on passports for anyone?

No but a the large all-inclusive resorts (i.e. Sandals) are give you $250
credit toward the passport cost when you book with them.

After reading about the 2004 regulations that will NOW go into effect

"At this time next year will we not have the same problem??? I mean come
on...some of the procrastinators(and others) who procrastinated this
year can do it next year. They will be bitchin' and bitchin'.......
We will have this same problem we are having NOW again next year.

There was an article in the local paper today where the travel columnist
predicted far worse delays next year.

He suggested that the passport facilities open 24/7 for a while to clear
the jam.

It's not the procrastinators that are the problem. It's the people
getting passports that have no plans whatsoever of travel ling soon.
They are trying to get ahead of the curve.

Dear Thumper,
It's far better to have a passport and not
need it, than to not have a passport and need it.
Of course the "problem" would go away if we just
called the passport a "National Identity Document"
and said everyone had to have one.
