For Those Who Would Like To Make Their Own Passport
 

here is a model

That should work out just fine.

It did THEN. Did anything change?

No, nothing has changed. They still do this today.

There is a message of similar sorts in the front of the Australian passport. Thats the important part of the Passport. All the other stuff is fluff. It's there for administrative purposes not legal purposes. I'll see if I can scan in that page and post it a bit later on today,

You gotta get horse, on a ferry.

Airplanes, TSA, Patriot Act, NDAA, and electricity. Other than that?

I see Paloony's dearth of pragmatism has not improved.

Is this a serious question?

ok so here is a scan of an Australian passport front page. As I mentioned it contains basically the same sort of text as palani's example.

For the people who are too literal to detect their questions are being answered with questions.........

The text says:
The Governor - General of the Commonwealth of Australia being the representative in Australia of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, requests all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer, an Australian Citizen, to pass freely without let or hinderance and to afford him or her every assistance and protection of which he or she may stand in need. See the thing is, nothing has changed. We are still using the same principles and behaviours today as were used centuries ago. Perhaps the language is more "modern" which I would equate with vague. Other than that not much is different.

Relations between men stay the same. Wars are to be declared and passports are intended for crossing enemy lines. Where do you see any wars or enemy lines?

What need you of a jail when you can construct your own jail cell?

Out of the mouths of two or more witnesses are facts determined. Facts require giving evidence and what you admit to is going to be used against you for the most part (facts are evil deeds by the etymology of the word). You would prefer carrying evidence from a superior begging others to not harm you? Aren't you capable of speaking for yourself?

Per the OP, that old passport had a privy seal on it. Unfortunately, my privy seal seems to be missing at the moment so I don't think my passport would be recognized.

I frequently use a right thumbprint as a seal with a red ink pad. Do you still have thumbs? If not, a big toe will work in a pinch.

i see the person that try this being water boarded

A person is a word, an action or representation. Physically impossible to waterboard any of these.

give it a try . let us all know if they waterboard you . the laws are not for the people anymore

I haven't had a passport in many years, other than one I made myself.

Have you used it successfully such that TPTB allow you to travel to "other places adjacent"? I mean, have you used it successfully to get through customs from any government in power today?

Does the U.S. count? If so then yes I have used it to travel internationally.

At the Matamoros crossing I got to talk a few minutes each time to border crossing guards on the U.S. side. One seemed to think I needed more official documents as "I am guarding an international border". I told him I had crossed six international borders to get to that point [Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Mexico].
