The modern Swiss passport combines biometric security and advanced physical features that are only visible under ultraviolet light. Under UV, fluorescent inks and fibres reveal topographic lines, cantonal motifs, and hidden designs that help prevent counterfeiting, while the polycarbonate data page and optically variable elements protect the holder’s identity.

The overall design of this passport is fantastic. UV is the icing on the cake.
Wunder^(at the)bar
I once went to a death metal bar with similar decor.
So does my bedroom.
Cool thing about those is they unfold into little nuclear shelters too.
I wonder how much it costs to print it twice.
Like fingerprints.
Damnit the Swiss are outdoing us again. Phone the president
