hey! Cd man ,this is not what your imaginary red bean army says;this is what Interpol says ........!by the way,please dont forget to take the medicine ! Reuters - The international police agency Interpol on Friday rejected a Malaysian suggestion that Interpols database for checking passport was too cumbersome. Interpol said that although several other countries used the database millions of times each year, the Malaysian immigration department had not checked plane passengers passports against its database at all this year prior to the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 on March 8. The agencys statement followed comments made by Malaysias Home Minister Zahid Hamidi to Parliament on Wednesday that the burdensome nature of the Interpol database slowed down immigration checks. Zahid said Interpols database of 40.2 million lost passports was too large and would overwhelm Malaysias database management system. Furthermore, Interpols information of lost (passports) may slow down the process of immigration checks at counters, Zahid was quoted as saying by the Malay Mail Online. Interpol, based in Lyon, France, said it takes just 0.2 seconds for its database to reveal to authorities whether a passport is listed as stolen. No member country had ever complained the process was too slow, it added. Malaysias decision not to consult Interpols Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database before allowing travellers to enter the country or board planes cannot be defended by falsely blaming technology or Interpol. If there is any responsibility or blame for this failure, it rests solely with Malaysias Immigration Department, it said. Two passengers with stolen Austrian and Italian passports were able to board the plane, which vanished over the South China Sea on March 8. However, authorities do not believe they were responsible for whatever happened to it.
