gwansik96 on 21 May 14Two passenger who are from Iranian used fake passport to board on the flight 370. Malaysiann home minister Datuk Seri Ahmad said that using Interpol's Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database might have slowed down the process of immigration checks at airport counters. He said the country's immigration's equipment couldn't handle the global database of 40.2 million lost passport. Later on Interpol fired back by saying that do not blame on technology or Interpol. SLTD database takes just seconds to reveal whether a passport is listed, with recent test providing results in 0.2 second. Also Interpol mention that US using more than 230 million times, UK using more than 140 million times, UAE using more than 100 million times, Singapore using 29 million times, none of the countries have complained about the time.
