Purchased OR stolen? Right, like anybody traveling overseas is going to sell their passport. |

I've read stories about people selling their passports when they get in sticky financial situations. |

A reason why the USA scans fingerprints now and takes your photo if you're an alien entering the country.
I could be wrong, but I believe part of the visa deal with the USA is that Korea will begin doing this, too. |

It's all propaganda to scare you into thinking the world is a seriously dangerous place and terrorists are out there to get us!
Basically it�s a scare tactic to make BIG BROTHER stronger! |

| I read a while back that Finland ask Korean tourists questions such as 'who is the president of Korea' or 'what is your national anthem' to try and catch out the Chinese. |
