   The Expiry Date of the Passport

Passports are vaild for 10 years (for an adult in the US), and 
expiration is just MM/YYYY .. so that's only 120 possibilities.


Note that here in the UK expiry is YY/MM/DD, so numbers will actually be 
much larger, but in terms of bruteforcing, still pretty small...

cheers,
Adam
