Just heard news on the radio... last night it was FOUR Americans, now it’s only THREE... with no explanation as to the discrepancy. GEESH, they think we are stupid!
Yeah, we all know how efficient foreign air carriers are, how professional their immigration authorities operate, and how calm and serene the corporate offices are immediately after an airliner goes down.
I think the reports of the Americans on board mentioned one was an infant — not sure if that is where the 4 vs. 3 discrepancy comes up?
I honestly can’t see how a stolen passport is not ‘flagged’ in some way.
My Son-in-Law was (extremely rudely) removed from an Amtrak train at the Canadian border due to an over 7 year-old felony on his record (long story, basically he was a stupid teenager, but served his time and straightened himself out) — all they did was scan his passport with one of those little check-out gun type things. Within a couple of minutes, he was pulled out of the train, questioned and literally “dumped” back at the American side (along with my daughter, husband and I, but only after we insisted on being taken off as well).
Three adults and one infant
