I hear you Lee- but the fact still stands that after 9/11 if you have a guy who is going intl and he has 0 baggage- you need to scrutinize him el al style- if the right security guy knew he had 0 baggage and they really looked at his b.s. fake passport, they may have gotten more clues or dug deeper- but no- someone dropped the ball- either with the fake passport not having been caught and the fact that he has 0 luggage- that alone is huge.
