If it has to do with Homeland Security, I'm glad I don't have to renew for another three years since I'm a resident alien. Maybe they'll want the big chest x-ray I was forced to have in London 30 years ago before I emigrated, and told I had to carry on the plane only to have the INS wave it away when I arrived. I've been wondering if that thing would ever come in useful.

I renewed in Washington State a few years ago, and was several months late, but they simply processed it and I was in and out in 10 minutes.
