Very little here that we don't already know:

_ot/passports_air_travel
*except* for the bit in the third from last paragraph about
the
startlingly large percentages (between 25 and 42%) of
Americans
traveling to Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean who don't
have
passports. While the article doesn't come right out and say
it, I
won't be surprised if there's a big backlog at the passport
office due
to people suddenly realizing they need something they've
never had to
have before.
Toronto NANOG is only about 70 days away. If you're
planning on going
and don't yet have a passport, getting your paperwork in
ASAP would be
a Good Plan.
