#9  The passports were not lost. They just quickly surrendered to the thieves.

#8  If they are going to lose them, then they become a nationality of high risk, like the Saudis, Pakistanis, etc.

Bingo, AP.

Something tells me that there's more than a few customs and immigration officers champing at the bit to clean the clocks of any people carrying French papers.

"Oui Monsueir, allez vous ici pour la cherche du cavite. Sil vous drais un petit du vaseline, non?"

#6  I agree. And we should require all French passport-holders to obtain visas before they enter the USA.

#4  You could make quite a few cells, hell, even platoons (!) from such a number of phony passports. It would seem to me that the prudent thing to do would be to establish more controls on French passport carrying persons immediately. Whatever it took. If they are going to lose them, then they become a nationality of high risk, like the Saudis, Pakistanis, etc. It would also send a strong message to the French govt that if they are going to get sloppy with their own controls, we won't with ours.

#3  That is a serious problem. Guess we should bar anybody with a French passport from entering the US for the next 15 years.
