We know there are fake Driver's Licenses. How about FAKE PASSPORTS? How do we KNOW a passport is real or the person is not a terrorist?

 Is there a way to authenticate a passport? How massive is the problem of fake passports?  How can we know the answer to that? Terrorists could be coming in every day...hordes of them. Not so hard to do . Just have  impressive-looking phony paperwork and b e well-trained. The only sure way to keep terrorists out is to close all our borders completely and allow no one in. Forever.  We still will have the problem of weeding out the terrorists who are already here . But once we do that we will be very safe and secure forever more. Won't we?

  • Of course no way to know 100% of the time, but the Countries we are temporarily stopping immigration do not have a well organized system of identification for different reasons.  The ones we allow in I have read do have an efficient system and the people who are they say they are. But hey, some can beat the system as we know.
