: Simple but wrong. The Type 3 passport is read by OCR of printed characters, not bars. Old technology that doesn't even resemble a barcode.

optical security strip
'The government considered a passport card designed by General Dynamics which uses an optical security strip, but rejected it, opting for an RFID chip. Mr. Hesse points out, “The optical strip has never been compromised. It’s the most secure medium out there to store data.”'

Or MRZ = Machine Readable Zone. However, that would include magnetic etc., not just optical reading.
"Usually the passport is a Type 3 travel document. The Machine Readable Zone of a Type 3 travel document spans two lines and each line is 44 characters long."

: May be a strip rather than a zone, but it's not clear. The zone is a print area, whereas the strip is a polycarbonate overlay readable by hi-res laser scanning. / It's a Type 3 *zone*: www.parcs.net/media/VISA_FR.pdf
