Man flies to Pakistan using sister's passport
2008-12-30
The British authorities are investigating how a United Kingdom (UK) citizen flew to Pakistan using his sister's passport before he was discovered by Pakistani officials and sent back.
How'd you bag him, Mahmoud?
It was easy. Their mustaches weren't even close.

According to a report in The Times, 26-year-old Kasim Raja from Moseley, Birmingham, travelled to Pakistan unknowingly on his younger sister's passport. Following the incident, security at Britain's Birmingham airport was criticised as 'a total failure'.

Raja passed three security checks unchallenged before boarding a flight to Islamabad. It was only on arrival that passport control staff noticed the error and he was sent back to the UK. The paper said Swissport, which handles check-in procedures for the airline at Birmingham, has promised to investigate.
