There are two types of passports, the normal passport and the e-passport. The difference between is that with the normal passports is utilized globally, every country has it but with the e-passport, only some countries are allowed to possess. These two passports serve the same purpose but in different ways. When you are traveling with the normal passport, the airline attendants will perform a passport number search to ensure that you are the right full owner of the passport. With an e-passport, due to the fact that it is biometric, they do not have to do a passport search to identify you they can use your thumb prints, or even scan your eyes as a way of identifying you. E-passports are preferable because they are a safeguard against people, who are out to steal your identity. The security e-passport provides to its so thick in that it is highly unlikely for one to penetrate and try and make an exact replica of your passport. The only disadvantage with e-passport is that it is offered in a few countries so not everyone benefits from their finesse.
