Jon/Phil great stories. can anyone trump? I once went to IBC in Amsterdam and back with a friend's passport. I only realised it wasn't mine when I went for a pre-flight coffee. The security people only checked that I had a passport, and at the gate the flight attendant was doing training and the trainee was checking the tickets and the other staffers passports, not that they were in the same name (and yes, this was after 911). At Schiphol, again the check was for the passport, not the travel document name. On returning to the UK, all I had to do was fill in a form at passport control. Another time I lost my passport between the hotel and airport in Barcelona. It turned out if you went to the police station next to the airport,and filled in a A4 form, someone just rubber stamped it and the airport let you get on the plane with no check on your actual identity. They probably try harder these days.

Wouldn't be quite so funny except that the reception was for invited CISSP members only and I wasn't a member or invited. The champagne always tastes better this way. - Phil Lewis On Thu, 2010-05-06 at 13:14 +0100, Soulla Stylianou wrote: > fantastic story. Made me giggle. Great. How long ago was that?
