"should not be passed to an unauthorised person" [1], which raises the 
issue of who authorises who (and back to my idea for accrediting colo 
security guards).

On the other hand there are many countries [even inside the EU] where a 
hotel receptionist will insist on holding your passport overnight so you 
can be registered with the police. Who authorised them, rather than gave 
them an obligation?

[1] US passports don't contain a similar clause.
