In my agency, I had a blue one (tourist) and an official red one (abroad on official government business). I carried both while traveling.

In the event of a situation (hijacking, terriridm, etc) we were to hide our red passport and just use the blue one.

By the way- a diplomatic passport is a third variety- not blue, and not red. Diplomatic passports were black- issued only to State Department personnel. supposed to get you out of trouble. They were different than red ones. Diplomatic passports are black.

If he had a red one- he is no longer President, so it should be expired.

I was wondering why he'd have more than one AZSkiffyGeek Aug 2022 #1
