snoop1130 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Man stunned as passport photo check sees lips as open mouth By JOHN DUNNE “Annoyed”: Joshua Bada used a high-quality image for an online application to renew his passport ( PA ) A young black man hoping to renew his passport online was stunned when the automated photo checker mistook his lips for an open mouth.
