"new" passports cards

Beginning June 2009, travellers will be required to present documents showing both citizenship and identity when entering the USA via a land or sea border. For Americans who drive to Canada or Mexico or or who cruise regularly to the Caribbean, but who do not expect to fly abroad, the passport card is a cheaper, smaller, more portable alternative to the passport book.
