They just have to check you and your passport photo with an electronic devise as well as glancing at you!
In Thailand they look at your eyes trough a camera and they have a good look too!
If VIP VOA was to continue then they would have to have a separate official counter for VIP because passport must be checked against the person while present!
I am sure its nothing a few $$ cant cure!
These measures are put in place for border security and to help with human error so if VIP VOA continues with just handing over your passport for somebody else to get stamped for you then I suppose VIP VOA as we know it will become an airport security breach?
