I don't want to get too critical because I know you've been under a lot of stress and so on.
I remember the study in the U.S. on the post-September 11 situation, which involved the outcomes of poor risk assessment and security measures. They said one of the big problems was a lack of cooperation among different agencies and departments. It seems to me if passports are very important, then security is a big issue on that. If somebody becomes a security risk, I, for the life of me, have trouble understanding why that isn't automatically passed to your department and you check on it.
