"A few months ago, the contents of Sakher Hammad's wallet would have seemed innocuous: Two video rental cards; two major credit cards; a card designating him a "charter member" of Team Ford Racing; a New York plumber's business card. And a pass, dated 09/05/01 that gave him access to the lower basement of One World Trade Center. "
This smells funny. Suppose the reporting is exact - there is nothing else in the wallet. Unless it was tucked away in a hiding place, this is the last item you would keep if you didn't want to get caught. Even if there was other stuff in the wallet, it's still pretty lame to keep this evidence around.
I'll try to look up these phone numbers.
The licenses that they were procurring consisted of bogus names. Curious if these names did not match any "personal effects". Were they planning to just "disappear" to live under new names? Were these "insurance" if they were ever discovered living in America illegally?
