Passport

I'll do an exchange to China in April 2007. To travel to China I need an passport, but until now I don't have a passport. Since November 2005 the passport you get in Germany (and in other countries too) included a so-called RFID chip, which means you don't need to show your passport because you can read the passport contactless via radio. The big problem is, that not only the border officer could read your personal data. Everybody in a distance of a few meters is able to read your passport and you not even know about it. That means that everybody know who you are, every time you carry your passport with you. For example if you go to a sex shop everybody knows who you are, where you live and so on. And that's not all. If there are enough RFID-reader everybody can find out, where you are.
I think it's clear that I don't want such a passport. I heard about that your passport is valid too, if the RFID chip doesn't work. So you can destroy the RFID chip for example while putting the passport into a microwave for a short time. But I don't know how the border officers in China react when my passport don't work. China is a communistic country and I afraid of that they send me to prison or something else. I haven't a problem with European border officers, because I know about the law, but in China it's different.
