40. Not a us passport......

That would take serious pull at the state department....

You can't forge a us passport. The rfid chip is encoded with biometric data and can be quickly compared with systems of record. They have to be issued.

Getting a new one under a false name would be really hard. You would need a lot of documentation the gov could verify.

Using someone else's passport who looks like you would also be difficult, though it might work to leave the country.

Getting a fake Russian passport might be easy, but there would be no record of him entering the country which would raise red flags.

I'm sure Russia could figure out a way, but this was a stupid man thinking he would get away with it.
