Abstract

The article discusses the attention to aviation security surrounding the investigation of passengers aboard a missing Malaysia Airlines flight who were traveling using stolen passports from Thailand in March 2014. Topics include the screening of passports against the International Criminal Police Organization's (Interpol) database, Thailand's well-established market of stolen and tampered passports, and aid from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation to identify the two passengers.
