So this "re-submit your ID number electronically is IMO total bullshit and more importantly totally illegal in Europe.

The fact this company is not European should ring many alarm bells with Europeans, because we have strict data protection laws for a very good reason....ePassport does not have to abide with these laws at all, yet have publicly stated in this thread they are following certain European laws, but not others....
