Were You Circumcised? New Passport Questionnaire Baffles Many With Absurd Info Demands

Who was present when you were born? Can you remember every address you’ve ever had? How about every place you’ve ever worked? Were you circumcised?
What if I told you that those were some of the queries the State Department is proposing for a new “biographical questionnaire” as part of the passport application?
Sounds absurd, doesn’t it? It’s true. Take a look:
According to BoingBoing, the form is meant for those who, while applying for a passport, can’t produce a birth certificate. “But as the FA suggests,” the site notes, “the circumstances in which people unable to provide a birth certificate will be given this form (rather than the traditional bureaucratic investigation) are not spelled out; further, the form itself remains a Kafkaesque impossibility for most people to complete.”
Consumertraveler.com notes the near impossibility of the proposed application, too:
The State Department estimated that the average respondent would be able to compile all this information in just 45 minutes, which is obviously absurd given the amount of research that is likely to be required to even attempt to complete the form.
“It’s not clear from the supporting statement, statement of legal authorities, or regulatory assessment submitted by the State Department to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) why declining to discuss one’s siblings or to provide the phone number of your first supervisor when you were a teenager working at McDonalds would be a legitimate basis for denial of a passport to a U.S. citizen,” that site goes on to say.
The supporting statement does say the questionnaire will be “used to supplement an application for a U.S. passport when the applicant submits citizenship or identity evidence that is insufficient or of questionable authenticity.” Still, it does not define “insufficient or questionable authenticity.”
Libertarian website Reason.org calls the new form “disturbing,“ and in its headline covering the story further describes it as ”impossible to answer“ and ”creepy.“ Author Radley Balko theorizes it could be a ”tool to allow the State Department to turn down a passport when they can’t find a more legitimate reason.”
And it’s not just conservative sites that are raising alarm. The uber-liberal Village Voice mocks the form’s question asking if the applicant was circumcised (yes, that’s a real question).
According to the document, answering the questionnaire is voluntary, “but failure to provide the information requested may result in processing delays or the denial of your U.S. passport application.”
The State Department was taking comments on the new application through yesterday. To read up more on the new form, you can go here and here.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 10:46amNot everybody applying for a passport was born yeasterday and/or has living parents to fill in the unknowns. Are we trying to keep illegals “in” or to further restrict American travelers? How about employing these rules to those wishing to visit America from unfriendly countries around the world. Student visa applicants should be the first to be required to fill out this ridiculous “proposed” application form.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 10:33amThis is just one more means of control for the masses by the progressives and the socialist utopia they are wanting to make us into. Indeed, this is on the last legs for the nation, and the time is now at hand for all of us to make the stand and chose what we will do from here out.
For good or bad, the future is in OUR hands.
Just look at it, as Glenn mentioned on his radio show, it could be used for the lowering of standards for non-citizens to become citizens, or more likely it is to keep those the administration does not want to have flee the nation when the crackdown begins from escaping so easily.
Hypothetical: You are one of the rich business owners, by Obama standards, who decides to do the Atlas Shrugged move and leave the nation. In order to make it harder for you to leave, they make the changes sudden and unexected. Oh, and heaven help you for the littlest mistake, as you will be put in jail and tried for fraud – maybe even having all assets seized as well for criminal activities?
Not as far fetched as they sound. There was a time not long ago when police could seize any and all properties belonging to a lawful owner of a house or car if one of their renters or users did or dealt in drugs without the owner knowing of it. It was no questions asked, no trial or inquiory, just unlawful seizure of a private citizens assets.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 12:42pmThe questionaire is for those who do not have regular birth certificates.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 3:28pmIsn‘t it wonderful how hard ’communists’ work against us? Time to throw these bastards out. Did Obama require this information from the ‘illegals’ he wants to keep here? Or the 80,000 Muslims he ok’d for immigration?..Notice all his policy changes seem to be against white America. Or they are against capitalistic growth? Or they are bent on destroying our economy?

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 3:32pmAND….how much MONEY are we going to have to allocate to this dept. to CHECK on these facts. I wouldn’t but anyone could write 1234 Main Street, Anywhere USA etc. and make up names JOHN JONES SUPERVISOR 368 555 5434 (made up) phone number…
HAVE THEY LOST ALL THEIR BRAINS or are they tightening the noose so that no one can travel outside the USA? DOES THIS APPLY to current PASSPORTS… if your’s is about to expire…renew it!
EVERY DAY…every damned day these freaks come up with another REGULATION. THEY WORK FOR US, the dumkopfs!!! WE SO NEED TO CLEAN HOUSE on 2012!!!!!!!!!!! THEN START CUTTING EVERY DEPARTMENT… we need a balance back in our FED GOV …right now it is 85% (really) Dem vs. Pub.
They’ve been planning this GARBAGE for decades… I hate to ask what else…but whatever is “agreed to” we need to UNDO ASAP.. JERKS.

Report Post »The first thing I thought when I heard and read this was, “so I guess the National Military Obama said he wanted in place (during one of his many campaign speeches/lectures) along with these new applications, would mean NO ONE leaves the US of A. We’re stuck here to live through all the hell on earth this president, his czars and co-horts have been planning for America.” PLEASE BLOGGERS: Vote. Vote in your local elections. Vote in your State elections and, above all, vote in Nov 2012. I, for one, expect a landslide for the person running against BHO!

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 4:27pmSo does this mean, if Trump is correct, that Obama is going to have to fill this out to leave the country? I think a passport is only good for 10 years, right?

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 5:25pmDemocratgirl, they’d better ask the same question, or it would be sexual discrimination.
As to this question, if you are showing your passport at an airport, the TSA will then pull down your zipper to verify the information. They are simply having too much fun at our expense.

“This is just one more means of control for the masses by the progressives and the socialist utopia they are wanting to make us into. Indeed, this is on the last legs for the nation, and the time is now at hand for all of us to make the stand and chose what we will do from here out.
For good or bad, the future is in OUR hands.
Just look at it, as Glenn mentioned on his radio show, it could be used for the lowering of standards for non-citizens to become citizens, or more likely it is to keep those the administration does not want to have flee the nation when the crackdown begins from escaping so easily…”

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 9:57pmFirst of all, you’ve been punked. Either this is a “The Onion” style parody or it’s a fraud. Assuming the latter, is there not one of you who hasn’t questioned how the website “boingboing” has access to proposed State Department forms for a passport without a birth certificate? Boingboing has a source within the State Department who has exposed this outrageous requirement for a person to establish residency?
Sorry guys, they’re are playing you for suckers to get hits on their website.
