Flying without a Passport question

First of all, if CAA is advertising free passport photos then you should be insisting on the free passport photos. Talk to the manager of the location if necessary, and if that doesn't work write/call the main office.

Second, for those who are not CAA members Costco takes pictures too, I think they're $5.99

And regarding why passport photos look so scary - remember they now want you to look in the photos the same way you'll look when you're crossing the border. SO, all you have to do is imagine yourself being on a plane for hours, connecting in a busy airport, delayed flights, screaming kids, the kid behind you that keeps kicking your seat and the guy in front who's reclined fully and is pressing against your knees. Then imagine standing in line for 45 minutes with your tired kids hanging on you before you get to the Customs officer, and THAT'S how they want you to look in the photos!

LOL-I thought they wanted you to look like a convict...at least that is how I look! Just need to add some numbers at the bottom of my pic and it makes for a perrrrty good mug shot!
