I'm sure having a false passport is a serious crime in Egypt as it is in most countries; perhaps the "committee" should try the corpse and sentence it to "life" in prison before releasing it to next-of-kin or burying it in the prison cemetary. 
Methinks the Cairo airport has been listening too much to USA-politicians'/govt's "security" advice.
