Drug Smugglers, illegals trying to get asylum..but the fact that you have a man named Mr. Ali in Iran, paying cash the night before a flight for two men with stolen passports raises the biggest red flag ever. This smells like a dry run, some say “Well how come no one has claimed responsibility yet” well why would they, if they have figured out the trick to get on board a plane and destroy it why would they tell. Also, the five people who booked their flights but never got on board, what do they have to do with all this
Passports have your photo in it. Don’t passport checkers compare your face with the passport photo?
Less than 2% on an international flight with fraudulent passports may not be unusual.
The Airlines do more checking on the credit card you used to buy the tickets than they do the passport you’re identifying yourself with.
My nephew just flew to Ireland and after getting on board realized that they had given him another person’s boarding pass from the check-in counter. He had gotten by at least 4 checks. If he had not brought it up to the cabin attendant no one would have said a word. They made him deplane, retrieve his luggage and check it in again.
Don’t know if anyone mention it, but we have tens of millions right here in the U.S. with fraudulent ID of all types...And they illegally vote, work, and collect tax paid prizes and gifts from your government.
But as this report shows, fake passports are readily available and in widespread use. If the Interpol database were used regularly then spying would be difficult. So it is likely that the database is widely ignored.
Fake licenses, or real ones generated by corrupt government officials with fake names are also widespread. Street prices of under $500 indicate just how common and easy to get they are.
If Interpol now says a few percent of passengers having fake passports isn't unheard of, you can assume hundreds of people fly daily in the USA using fake IDs. So much for all that effort checking IDs.

" How difficult is it to board a plane with a stolen passport? "
"A European security official said it wasn't uncommon for passengers to board flights using stolen passports."Quoting title of thread:
"Who travels with a stolen passport?"
For starters, those two w/stolen passports on the missing Malaysian flight. . .
Four on the same plane is pushing the odds.
it was a very short trip.
“...it’s not uncommon to have your passport checked four times or more between check-in and boarding the aircraft.”
Does this mean looked at 4 times or checked against a database 4 times. Or rather 4 chances to have your passport checked against a database of stolen passports?
