Zhang Wenjie-Dad flies off using son's passport

Summary:
Mr Ang took his 39-year-old son's passport. They had left their passports on the dining table, because the son was also flying from Changi Airport. Even with the wrong passport, he is able to check in at the counter for his flight. Next got past the security check by Certis Cisco officers at the entrance to the restricted passenger area.Then he ran into problems, failing repeatedly to scan his fingerprint at the immigration Automated Clearance System. But he still managed to get to board the plane as the officer cleared him to leave Singapore. He only realised his mistake during the flight. When he arrived his destination he he owned up to immigration authorities there and they put him on the same plane back to Singapore. His son also realised the mistake when he reached Changi Airport.Father and son were reunited at noon.

Personal Views:
All these while my thoughts of Singapore's security are very high. How ccould this happen? i think that the officers did not do their job well and serious enough. I felt that if he fails the scanning of his fingerprint the officer should not even let him board the plane. The officer might think that he os a Singaporean and would not do harm to the country. What if the person is a terrorist and plan to bomb the plane? He would be able to enter easily. They should improve their security measures.
