Is there a harm in zapping the passport?

What's the advantage?

It takes an extra minute to get through customs when travelling internationally because they have to manually type in or scan your passport instead of reading the rfid chip

I was talking to a buddy of mine... he has this same chip in his "adhanced drivers license" here in Michigan. The state govt provides you a sleeve that shields it. Yet he doesn't even use that. So he really didn't care about it in his passport that was just sitting in a drawer in his kitchen of all places.
