           BACKGROUND

           Currently, a set of passport photos costs $7 for AAA members and
           $10 for non-members.

           ALL PERSONS traveling by air outside of the United States are
           required to present a passport or other valid travel document to
           enter or re-enter the United States.

           LAND AND SEA TRAVEL
           CURRENTLY:
           U.S. citizens need to present either (a) a passport, passport
           card (available in spring 2008) or (b) a government-issued photo
           ID, such as a driver's license, along with proof of
           citizenship, such as a birth certificate.

           LATER:
           On June 1, 2009, the U.S. government will implement the full
           requirements of the land and sea phase of Western Hemisphere
           Travel Initiative. The proposed rules require most U.S.
           citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of
           entry to have a passport or passport card.

           Each customer is limited to one set of passport photos.
