Multiple passports are individual with their own numbers, issue and expiry dates.

When I travelled excessively, I worked for a UK Based multinational. I had 3 different British passports. Visas and etc could still prove difficult, so I remember meeting the DHL person who had one of my passports at the Indonesian Visa office in Taiwan. I noticed on the screen at immigration in Taiwan, they had at least 2 of my passport numbers!!

I once sent my passport from guantanamo bay(bysecure mail) to the US goverment to try and get some document that would enable me to get a US credit card from my US bank.It disappeared!With a vacation looming this was not good!I rang the Embassy(?) In Kingston Jamaica explanined my problem and was told oh just tell immigration your expected,they will call us!So I flew in without a passport and it took ten minutes in the Embassy to get a nice shiny blue one!!
Returning the same and same aircraft I got to my office to find a nice brown envelope with my original passport!Now I had two!

Hauled off the aircraft at TLV together with my mate by a couple of swarthy guys with Uzis while the other passengers were asked to remain seated. Questioned, frisked and baggage searched at the bottom of the steps, then we were wished all the best for our stay. :O

Not quite the same as the reception for those on route to Gaza, in my case to work (the same applied to most visitors, Gaza was never a popular holiday destination). You were hauled off by a pair of aggressive 20-somethings to be interrogated about why you wanted to go to Gaza in the first place, what you were going to do, where you would stay, and so on. Then you had to supply a list of contacts in Gaza; I would provide a number of combinations of Muhammad, Ali, Ahmad, bin Falaan ("John Smith" equivalent), and the head waiter at the Beach Hotel, which the pair would laboriously write down. I carried a second passport for these visits, keeping the other for the rest of the Middle East.
