Passports have had NFC chips with the potential to store additional data for at least the past 10 years.

Not to mention the Passport Number which links the passport to databases of other information.

Like the information on my visa application, or the fingerprints collected at that time, or my travel history, hotel stays, and so on.

Data does not have your be "in the passport" to follow me around.
