Not sure you're allowed to on passport/visa photos….

[mclaincausey]

I'd be careful @Giles posting that, at least scrub some of the information like passport #

[Daniel San]

Good Point mclaincausey
Very dangerous these days

[Kasi]

To be honest, there a lot more to the passport photo  and visa when you scan them

Pictures you can’t see pop up and other information

are covered in fun and colorful UV-reactive hidden images that can only be seen under a blacklight.

That's supposing that someone just wants to use it to forge a passport. There are numerous ways that this kind of information can be used to make your life suck for a period of time, including other forms of identity theft.

End of the day, discretion is the best approach with this kind of information IMO–each disclosure of this kind of information adds to your risk, a sort of death by a thousand cuts. Assume they already have a bunch of your personal information, and adding to the pile is not in your best interest.

This is not a controversial take in information security and fraud circles.

Thanks @mclaincausey , I've deleted it.

I left my passport under the pillow (put there so it could not be easily stolen  >:() in a sleeping car between Warsaw and Prague a long time ago.  I only realised it was missing, when I turned up at Prague airport a few days later..  Of course it never turned up.  I am sure there are multiple Giles Padmore's operating in the old Soviet Bloc….

Luckily I knew the British Defence Attache in Prague pretty well, he sorted me out in double quick time, so at least I was able to get back to Blighty with not too much delay.

Progeny???  Heir's to the IH kingdom?

[Giles]

@Alex and I have got clean PCR tests, have filled in the monumental pre-travel requirements and have both been given a clean bill of health to fly to Japan tomorrow…..

[Kasi]

Enjoy and safe travels

[dinobarnesberlin]

Safe travels and from what I’ve been hearing from friends who just yesterday morning flew out of Europe— give yourselves plenty of time before your flight.
Just to be on the safe side.

[Giles]

I've done Greece and Morocco in the last 3 weeks.  Some of the best airport experiences ever 

But to your point, @Madame Buttonfly sorts out my travel arrangements and she allows plenty, and I mean plenty, of slack in the schedules….

[Daniel San]

[Graham]
