newswatcher,
I take your point but I still think the responsibility is the man's own.
If the film covering the passport photo had been disturbed, as reported in the link report, it must take a pretty simple person to think he might not have a potential problem, especially in these times of heightened security.
I am afraid its the Nanny State again - so many people expect everything to be put before them on a plate. These people seem to think they have no responsibility to think or do for themselves on occasions.
