Airline staff goofed fake passport situation: Report

Vasco: Three Sri Lankans were found carrying fake passport documents while boarding a Frankfurt-bound flight at Dabolim airport and two were nabbed. But the third suspect managed to escape.
Top official sources said, the regulatory agencies at the Dabolim airport in a report on the escape of the third suspect believed to be an active member of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam, have revealed that the airline staff was not trained adequately to deal with such a situation.
Firstly, if the staff was sure that the documents of the three Sri Lankans were fake, they should have quickly asked for a security escort and should have responsibly handed over the suspects to them.
Secondly, the staff is not the right authority to decide whether documents are real or not. "This process of verification is done by immigration," a source said.
