ePass is doing this to comply with the law ... in my view, it's NOT for fraud prevention...

If it truly was, ePass would require ID, paperwork, etc from ALL accounts, including brand new accounts...

As of now, if my understanding is correct, people can still signup and use ePassporte without submitting any documentation...

In that regard, ePassporte and PayPal are very much alike - so if one doesn't trust PayPal with their personal info, they likely shouldn't trust it with ePassport either.
