Do you agree with Canada's ban on smiling passport photos?

The Canada Passport Office issued new specifications for passport photos and wants serious faces only. To get a valid passport, Canadians must now send in two photos with 'neutral expressions.' That means a closed-mouth, straight-ahead gaze into the camera. Suzanne Meunier, a spokeswoman with the passport office, said the government is complying with recommendations of the International Civil Aviation Organization, the United Nations agency responsible for aviation issues, aimed at making it easier for security personnel to recognize the passport holder. The new measure took effect Aug. 15.
