Nice, thanks for posting that. I wish I had this when I used my passport. I didn’t realize that it had one of these chips.

These chips cannot stand even a light blow from a hammer. Give your new passport a good beating.

Well, unless your passport is less than a year or two old, then it likely doesn't have the chips. The symbol highlighted with the red arrow in this image indicates that the passport has an RFID chip, although the chip itself is actually somewhere in the back cover.
