This is farcical.
They don't have to get caught in the airport do they? I was assuming if they are wanted then the police (Interpol if they are abroad) would stand at least a chance of intercepting them.

But I am confused how they can't use DoB, passport number, or some other unique identifier to differentiate. My guess is they have a photo of this wanted man they are comparing me to or something if it's true, who knows.
