Same thing you do to the new passports.

Actually a sharp blow is good enough.

And I could see doing that for the school card, but not for a passport. How often are you going to take your passport with you, unless you're (duh) travelling?

The problem is when you are traveling. People got wise and scan for the RFID chip in our passports to identify foreigners in their country they can rob.

Or just walk through the international lounge at the airport and steal the information of everybody that has enough money to travel internationally

If you keep it in a metal sleeve/cardholder, they won't be able to

Seriously. It still pisses me off that the teacher is supposed to be a surrogate parent and/or babysitter these days.

It's school, not freaking daycare.

much cheaper to just microwave it and never have to worry again

Yup, takes all of 5 seconds including the time to program the microwave

Is there a harm in zapping the passport?

What's the advantage?

It takes an extra minute to get through customs when travelling internationally because they have to manually type in or scan your passport instead of reading the rfid chip

Some dude with a scanner cant read it and get all your personal information

I have a few of these. If just because my husband and I have IDs that get taken and reissued when they don't scan.
