From an [article in Wired](http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.01/start.html?pg=9) about the new RFID chips in US passports:

> 4) The best approach? Hammer time. Hitting the chip with a blunt, hard object should disable it. A nonworking RFID doesn’t invalidate the passport, so you can still use it.

I guess that’s what I’ll be doing if I don’t get my passport this week. I need it to get married in Canada. 🙂
