Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Stolen Passports: 40% Of Travel Documents Are Not Screened Against Lost Or Stolen Database

On Sunday, Interpol, a France-based international law-enforcement organization that monitors stolen or lost travel documents, confirmed that the passports used by two unidentified passengers who boarded the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 were indeed reported stolen. Had the passports been screened against the organization's Stolen and Lost Travel Documents database, airline personnel would have determined that the documents were stolen.
