Paul Ferguson napsal(a):
Using phony documents and the identities of a dead man and a 5-year-old
boy, a government investigator obtained U.S. passports in a test of
post-9/11 security. Despite efforts to boost passport security since the
2001 terror attacks, the investigator fooled passport and postal service
employees four out of four times, according to a new report made public
Friday.
  

Passports were not designed as a security measure. It's obvious. :-)
