We can only make decisions or judgements based on information we're given and when that information is constantly being altered, any decision is suspect and, in this case, much valuable time is wasted. It is still a Malaysian military operation. Malaysia could declare it a civilian disaster and turn the investigation over to international experts, but have not done so.
If there is any good to come from this whole situation, it's that the world is now aware of the complete lack of passport security in most areas outside the U.S. and European Union. Oh yeah, and if you're a pretty blonde, you get to ride in the cockpit of a commercial airliner.

Why are you so sure that the US and European union are any better at passport control? Do you seriously think no one flies on fraudulent documents on western carriers?
My company recently had to assist in the deportation of a person that was flown into Canada by a western carrier who was being deported as he was not the individual he claimed to be. This happens MANY times a year in both Canada and the USA
