the government of switzerland has made a weird arrangement regarding travel passports... from the beginning of 2005, swiss citizens can apply for a passport containing biometric info. if they want. its a five year pilot project and goes parallel to the standard swiss passport, that was issued 2003... so at least until 2010 and perhaps the winds have turned by then. right.
