#1 If they checked him closely, it would be profiling, and we can't have that.

#2 We really need a picture of the sister.... Or maybe we don't.

#3 How this happened? Very simple. British policemen had instructions not to ask veiled women to lift their burkhas. Pakistani policemen hadn't and had no qualms on it.

#4 Uh, yeah, JFM is probably right. The guy was probably using his sister's burqa as well as her passport. You'd think the Brits would learn but I guess not.

#5 In fact I was wrong. After more careful reading it looks like the guy picked his sister's passport by mistake and the police officers at airport didn't even check he looked like in the photo.
