It will hurt travel to Mexico and Canada. The passport process, for new
passports, is real pain in the butt, and very expensive. I just went
through it for my wife and two kids. Hours of waiting at a post office,
and very expensive. The post office then tries to sell you Express Mail
service at about $30 per passport extra, even though the regular
priority mail still is tracked and requires a signature.
