Aint fussed by it having chips and aerials etc or what info it got on it, as said nowt gonna be on there that aint already known .
And if it stops any dodgy goings on so much the better .

Wont stop illegals tho i wouldnt think, as they got ways into the country other than walking thru customs .

The worst bit is if it true like someone said, that you wont be able to use it if you damage the aerial , and you can bet they wont just replace it free of charge , if people still got old picture ones with no chips what so ever in and can still use them why shouldnt you be able to carry on using the chipped one just without the convieniance of using the fast track method
