How Often does this happen?

listening to the news today, one of the guys suspected of killing that unfortunate policewoman in bradford, has reportedly returned to somalia using a female passport and wearing a veil. don,t know if this report is accurate,wasn,t aware you could go through customs wearing one. but this begs the question wether the guy has or hasn,t. if he can/did that, how many TERRORISTS or BOMBERS ETC have done the same?

i heard the same thing on the news cash, apparently they never check over here but are supposed to check at the other end, its a loada b****x if you ask me,like they said...we seem to have open borders,no one's checked in and no one's checked out

Thing is though if there is a woman going through customs with the veil etc on and there is only male customs officers on then because she isnt allowed to show her face to another man except her husband or family member then she will get through. The only way to do is to make sure there are at least 3 women customs officers on and to check every woman going through - wonder though how long that would take for boarding?

soz jen thats NOT the only way to do! it should be illegal to pass through any customs anywhere hiding your face.

Did I hear correctly that it's believed this guy has gone back to Somalia? The country he couldn't be sent back to when he came out of jail because his life would be in danger there!

I agree with you cashy.. The veil should be banned from being worn going through any airport etc in the world and if this does turn out to be the case then maybe it will shake up our government and stop them taking the bloody soft aproach

its a while since i went through th airport ..but im sure they gave 5 examples on news although i may be wrong and i can only think of 3 at this end and one at the other where your photo should be checked..
1..checkin
2..passport control
3..boarding plane
and other end at customs

When i fly to ireland i used to be stopped all over the place and to be ready to show my id. not just at check in they used to stop you and ask to see id and your ticket at the check in, when you were going through to the departure lounge, then stop you again when you left that, going down the concourse and then stop you again going down the stairs even though you were within sight of the last check in!
