What are fake Passports?

0

Fake Passports (FPs) are also known as, or called Camouflage passports. They are passports of countries no longer in existence, e.g. former British or Dutch colonies such as Rhodesia, Zanzibar, Dutch Guiana, Netherlands East Indies. These states have usually changed their names, typically after gaining independence. Thus, British Honduras is now Belize, while Zanzibar fused with then time Tanganyika to become today’s Tanzania. Upper Volta became Burkina Faso, and of course, some of the most recent examples include the USSR and Czechoslovakia. When American travelers became prime targets of hijacking and international terrorism on an ever increasing scale, Fake Passports were invented to afford them some additional security. The idea was to present a potential hijacker with a valid looking, non-American Fake Passport to hide one’s identity. Thus, it was supposed, terrorists might pick someone else to harp upon, to take hostage or even to kill. Fake Passports were never intended to be us
