据英国《每日邮报》6月12日报道,英国九岁女孩艾米丽•哈里斯近日用她的粉色独角兽假护照成功进入土耳其。
艾米丽近日随同父母赴土耳其度假。在土耳其安塔利亚机场通关时,艾米丽拿的是一家玩具公司给一个独角兽毛绒玩具做的假护照。封面印有金色的泰迪熊,护照大小也和真的不一样。护照上的名字也不是艾米丽,而是粉色独角兽。
但是在土耳其安塔利亚机场,海关人员给艾米丽的护照上盖了章,并让她通过。
艾米丽的妈妈说,他们准备在土耳其旅行一周,当他们发现给了艾米丽错的护照时,他们很担心有人会来抓他们,但是事实上什么麻烦也没有发生。
任何国家的海关人员在允许旅客入境之前,都要查看护照并核对旅客信息。但很明显,该机场的工作人员并没有那么做。
艾米丽的妈妈说:“这实在好笑。但是,这么容易就可以把一个孩子从海关偷送到另外一个国家,任何父母都免不了担心。” (编译:张露露)
A nine-year-old schoolgirl has managed to enter Turkey using a passport that identified her as a pink unicorn。
Officials at Antalya airport even stamped Emily Harris's travel documents before waving her through customs despite the official photograph showing the face of her favourite stuffed toy。
Her mother and father today admitted they were left stunned after they handed their daughter the wrong passport when they landed to start a week's holiday in the country。
The document young Emily handed over was a Design A Bear passport for a Unicorn toy called Lily Harris。
Her mother Nicky, 43, from Cwmbran, South Wales, said: 'I didn’t realise until I was putting the passports away. There was a moment of panic when I thought someone would come chasing after us, but nothing。
'The passport doesn’t even look real - it’s got gold teddy bears on the front and was a completely different size from mine and my husband, Allen’s。
'The man even asked Emily how old she was, and she told him nine, before he stamped it.'
Unofficial documents: This is the passport used by Emily to get into Turkey (left) which does look a little like the real thing apart from one major difference, it contained a picture of Lily the unicorn
Still smiling: Emily with her beloved toy, but her parents had feared at the time that customs might chase them when they realised their mistake
Officials of all countries are meant to scan passports and cross-check passenger details before allowing entry to their country。
But in this case, it obviously did not happen。
'The picture ID wasn’t even of Emily, it was of a pink unicorn,' Mrs Harris said。
'And to make it worse, the unicorn wasn’t even on holiday with us。
'We saw the funny side, and laughed at the fact that the officer had even stamped the passport。
'But at the same time, it’s a worry to any parent, how easy it would be to smuggle a child through customs and into another country.'
