#1 Maybe they made the wrong request.

If they'd asked the Euros to stamp the appropriate passports "Juden" I'm sure the Euros would have been happy to comply.

And it's highly doubtful any European Jews would be coming to the US to commit terrorist acts.

#3 to go to such efforts while leaving the Mexican border as a sieve, is insane.

#4 Looking at my almost new US passport I can't see any "biometric" data and I didn't have a fingerprints taken when I applied either. As far as I know they are asking of other what they don't require of them selves. As long as you can walk across the US and Canadian border most places it's moot.

Sensenbrenner is a spud head anyway.

#5 I think it is a pre-emptive attack on the EU's trade sanctions. Why? Because the EU will reply in kind and as SPoD notes US passports don't have biometric data so no grand tours of the EU by US students and old ladies.....
