Let and hindrance

Is it time we reworded the much vaunted formula on UK passports. Once you get past the pompous guff about 'Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State' there is a phrase requesting that the bearer should be allowed to pass without 'let or hindrance'. Yet throughout nearly all of Europe the only 'hindrance' between Bognor and Belarus is that imposed by her said Majesty's East German-style 'border guards'. It's embarrassing and annoying enough without the hypocrisy.
