What stops a person from using a false passport?

So, you need a passport to travel abroad, right? Say a criminal wants to slip out of the nation on a public flight. What stops a person from using a false passport? Is there a security measure in place at airports to deter such an act?What stops a person from using a false passport?
these days security is really tight is it will be nearly impossible to get away with it.What stops a person from using a false passport?
Airports have security measures.


When a passport or a person looks suspected, the passport can have a closer look. If it's fake, he'll get into deep trouble with law. If it doesn't look correct to the immigration officer, he gets pulled over. If there is no record of a passport with that name and those details been ever issued, again he is in deep trouble. For a trained person to find out if a passport is real it is only a matter of seconds.
They ask for two forms of photo ID to go along with it but sometimes thats not enough!!!
If someone wants to do something badly enough they could do it safety measures or not. I say it is extremely difficult to get a passport under false circumstances today. Getting one legitimately is hard enough , you first must have all the other identification and know your family history. Forging one good enough to fool security is much more difficult than in the movies. There are measures in place that are effective but it is impossible to prevent all things. I for one do not want more measures than we already have now, or the freedom we still enjoy somewhat will be lost because of a few with evil agendas..
Nowadays, a passport is machine readable. So datas are on records almost everywhere.


Also, new passports are harder to counterfeit.


Now if you have , let's say a Japanese fake passport, and you are Scandinavian looking (blond hair, blue eyes), I think someone will be in deep trouble.
yes at every international airport there is a line where i believe it says ';foreign'; This is where you go up one by one so they can check your identity. There is also a camera that will take a small portrait of you in case anything happens.





-hope that answers your question
