Interpol, S-E Asian nations bolstering border security
More than 40m passports are listed as missing
Add BT as a preferred source[SINGAPORE] Interpol, the world's largest police organisation, is working with South-east Asian countries to bolster border security amid lapses in immigration checks before Malaysian Air Flight 370 went missing.
The discovery that two passengers had boarded the missing jet using stolen passports has raised concern about Malaysia's immigration security practices as the hunt for the plane enters its 21st day with ships and aircraft scouring the Indian Ocean.
More than 40 million passports are listed as missing on a database created by Interpol in 2002, yet planes were boarded about a billion times last year without the travel documents being screened against the register. The two Iranian nationals were able to board the plane in Kuala Lumpur using passports that were reported stolen in Thailand.
