I remember reading that less than 20% of US citizens have a passport.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

"Currently 74 million Americans – approximately one-quarter of the
population – are documented with a U.S. passport."

That's been the percentage talked about, but no one can locate any official
statistics.


I am sure the government reports how many are issued per year.
They are good for 10 years, less maybe 6 months or more, since people
renew in advance and some countries want 6 months left on them before
admitting you. Additionally, child passports are valid for only 5 years.
But, I am sure the government would give the numbers for both.
Perhaps Groogie can give us a cite?

According to the American Travel Survey last conducted by the US Census in
1995 of 80,000 households, the largest number of international trips was
made to Canada (27.9%), followed by 23.2% to Mexico, 17.7% to Europe, 10.8%
to the Caribbean...For more details, see
