Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 So where did all of these 'only 10% possess...' stories we've seen over the years come from? Oh, yeah.....'twas the feds data. The Village Voice was even floating an incorrect number last month. http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/02/only_30_percent.php http://www.gadling.com/2011/03/09/passport-ownership-by-state/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is certainly possible that when the discussion about the passports being necessary to travel to Canada, the take-up rate was only 10-15%, but as it became more apparent that this was actually going to happen, people (grudgingly) got them and now it is 40-50% for states bordering Canada. So I would be more convinced with some time-series data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I have had at least one passport since I was 10. My current one runs out in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
