With the U.S. and other countries on high alert for ISIS attacks, American authorities are warning the terror group’s followers may have infiltrated American borders with authentic-looking passports ISIS has printed itself with its own machines, according to an intelligence report obtained by ABC News.
The 17-page Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Intelligence Report, issued to law enforcement last week, says ISIS likely has been able to print legitimate-looking Syrian passports since taking over the city of Deir ez-Zour last summer, home to a passport office with “boxes of blank passports†and a passport printing machine. Another passport office was located in Raqqa, Syria, which has long been ISIS’s de facto capital.
“Since more than 17 months [have] passed since Raqqa and Deir ez-Zour fell to ISIS, it is possible that individuals from Syria with passports ‘issued’ in these ISIS controlled cities or who had passport blanks, may have traveled to the U.S.,†the report says.
Not bad for a contained JV team..
Passports are old technology and not very secure. Scary.
I suppose one of the vetting questions . . . if not the only question is . . . can I see your passport?
OK, looks good . . . next!
Passports are overrated.
But, but, we have a robust vetting process, donchaknow....../spit
The ISIS passports have a rubber band springloaded with a paper clip.
Amazingly, they still are not detected by 95% of TSA.
Looks fake.
Don’t worry Donald Trump will just ban all Muslims and personally make each and everyone eat a holiday ham at one of his YUUUUUGE hotel restaurants as part of the vetting process to his brilliant plan.
Yep, they were seen in Europe during the fall invasion.
Another epic fail by obamski...
Why not drop a bomb on the passport offices....?
And I et there are plenty of printers in this country who could counterfeit American passports and get by with them.
25 Years ago I knew one printer who was so good he wanted to challenge the Govt. to tell the difference between his counterfeit passport and a Govt. issued one.
.He decided not to do it because of the grief that might come to him in doing it, but he was that confident.
So counterfeiting passports comes as no surprise to me, as it is easier than counterfeiting USA money in which if done perfectly, the paper would give you away. -tom
Isn’t that basically what the Spanish did and why ham is served at Easter?
I guess the only common sense thing to do under these circumstances is to block all Muslim immigrants.. maybe one of the candidates from either party would endorse such a plan... What? Trump?
Real or not I love the positioning of the red star on Ozero’s forehead :)
I am sure obama and jarjar (valjar) already gave them the real passport paper and binding to make them, and machines to code the chips.
No i am not fuching kidding.

Not bad for wannabe Kobe Bryant’s right Obama..but hey nothing to fear here, remember according to Loretta Lynch, the biggest threat is that Muslims feelings might get hurt those poor little loafs
