(Reuters) - A new British biometric passport is shown atop a special reader connected to a computer that can read the passport holders personal information at the British Embassy in Washington, October 24, 2005. Under the first phase of a week-long test of the UK's new biometric passport issuing system, the new biometric passports are embedded with features like a security chip bearing the passport holder's personal information along with other security features to help prevent passport forgery. All 27 nations that currently hold special visa-free status with the U.S. are required to begin issuing biometric passports by October 26, 2006 in order to meet U.S. government passport control deadlines.
