#1 Simple enough. Impose exorbitant "landing fees" at all airports within countries that do not participate in lost document reporting. This one is a no-brainer.

A very small incremental increase in world-wide landing fees could easily finance a global standard for holographic tagging of biometrically encoded passport documentation. Simply use steganography to mutually embed photographic and biometric information into a single pixelated bit-field, like what stamps.com uses.

You Internet wizards out there tell me if I'm wrong.

#3 What about North Korea and Pakistan.

These rogue nations actively counterfeit currency and passports.

The ink bought in the report below has not been used for Pakistani passports.. apart from the currency counterfeiting, what else is the ISI printing for their terrorist proxies?

ISI lures travellers with fake currency

"There are various aspects to the problem. For one, intelligence agencies have been unable to pinpoint what Pakistan has done with the 4 kg of "green to blue (colour shift)" Optically Variable Ink a patented product of a Swiss manufacturer ostensibly for a security feature in its passports. This is the same ink India uses for currency notes of the Rs 500 denomination. One kg of ink can produce 32 lakh notes.

Intelligence agencies have informed the government that militants are offered a choice between being paid Rs 5,000 in Pakistani rupees or Rs 1 lakh worth of counterfeit money."
