Which I don't believe is supposed to happen. >IC- Like in the US you are not required to produce your passport to leave the UK. You produce it to the airline at check in so they can see you are entitled to travel to wherever you are going. At the entry to the departure lounge, the security check point all you have to produce is your boarding card. For international departures the airline will almost certainly check your passport again prior to boarding. But to get where this guy got, with a forged boarding card he didn't need a passport. Perhaps it is something that needs to be introduced at the security point, boarding card and passport. -- Dave Hedges LHR www.uk-air.net
