I understand the need for making applying for a passport water tight but why is there such a need for it being a inconvenience to travel?

Not to mention the cost implications, I am already paying the £66 passport fee (Which rises to £72 from Oct 4th 2007) plus £7 for the check and send service, with these interviews, I will have to pay travelling costs and more than likely parking costs.

Sorry but I find the whole thing just a tad cheeky of the IPS.
