Why "Passport?"

Why did Escort choose to name this line "Passport?" I've got an idea, but it doesn't make much sense.

How does it not make sense?

It is your passport to freedom on the road is basically what they are trying to imply.

From the dictionary

a : a permission or authorization to go somewhere b : something that secures admission, acceptance, or attainment.

It just doesn't really makes sense to me. I am just kind of curious what other people think the "Passport" part means. I am very bored at work

because Phazer was already taken.

Its right there in the dictionary... hopefully that clears any confusion right up. :wink:

It actually makes a lot of sense. If you take the direct and actually meaning of the word, and put it in the context of Escort Passport, and give it a figurative meaning... like I did with italics... you have something that makes a whole world of sense.

No what happened was when guys were on the phone with the wife or girlfriend they here it going off in the background and they would say it's just my 'Escort'. As in 'Escort Service'. Not too smart.
