Two senators have called on Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to find a way to activate anti-forgery capabilities on e-passports.
In a letter, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Md.), the ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) told Kevin McAleenan, acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, that the agency needs to work with the General Services Administration to thwart forgeries on e-passports. Their deadline is January 2019.
