My guess is also the chips on the passports aren't writable only readable. Am I correct in this assumtion?Amiibo use the NTAG-215 type NFC chip, whereas passports use an ISO 14443-compliant chip that is specifically designed for personal identification purposes.
The contents of a passport's chip are partially encrypted, the encryption keys are printed in the ID page. When you scan your passport, the optical scanner reads the keys off the pages and then uses them in conjunction with the NFC information to verify your identity, this is why passports are always open when scanned and can't be used when closed.
tl;dr - Amiibo are NFC-only whereas passports use a different protocol that requires further information.
Probably. It would make sense for it to be read-only.My guess is also the chips on the passports aren't writable only readable. Am I correct in this assumtion?
Actually, yes they would.why should it . . . ? did the airports scanner give you an error when you were asked to scan your passport and instead tried to scan a pikachu . . . ?
Are you seriously asking that? America doesn't care about our travelling experience. They are showing other countries how rich and smart America is by using this (might I say unnecessary) tech in airports, not in American airports, but international destinations across the world. I personally saw the 'immigration machine' in the Abu Dhabi airport. I've never seen it before in America, not in LAX, not in JFK, nowhere.How is making something easy and efficient showing off?
No frickin way, pal!Give me your passport and I'll buy you a Amoobi, I'd gladly become a US citizen. I like Trump and Nintendo NoA.
Gosh, this massive amount of bullshit is making my brain hurt on a Saturday morning.
@OP: please try to at least understand NFC before you are creating such a horseshit thread... Seriously you could have at least done a little research. Usually I got used to not even replying to such a bullshit thread, but this one definitely pushed me over the edge.
1. You didn't have to read all this horseshit, you could have ignored it.why should it . . . ? did the airports scanner give you an error when you were asked to scan your passport and instead tried
Of course America doesn't care about airports, companies do. The only thing America care's about is making the legal rights and regulations of airplanes. They just want money, I'd rather live solo on a desolate island making my own government, but I just don't have the time and resources devoted for doing so.Are you seriously asking that?
