Only at some UK airports are passports checked for outbound travellers by UKBA, I'm not sure about Manchester - even at the big ones it is fairly inconsistent.<br /><br />UKBA's eGates such as those introduced as part of the IRIS programme are not used on outbound controls as far as I am aware.<br /><br />He could have left by fraudulently using someone elses passport in the Self Check-in Kiosk and an airline staff member not noticing. He could have returned using his own passport or again used the fraudulent one and a UKBA immigration officer to notice it was for a different person.<br /><br />How he entered/ exited the US and the airport I do not know. How they spotted he was not the legitimate holder of the passport used to gain entry is pretty straightforward - if his friend travelled to the US previously they would have taken his prints and associated them with that document number. Upon fraudulently presenting the document at entry, they would have looked up the previous prints and compared them with the new set taken - at which point they didn't match.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
