Dunno, don't get too many school shootings or McDonalds massacres in Thailand.

 

Just because they're aren't "mass' shootings doesn't mean it's any less wild...

There are plenty of shootings that never even make the local news, let alone the mass media.

Yet, I don't feel the need to carry a gun for protection as so many Americans do.

I'm interested as to how this might specifically be down to biometrics?

 

What 'biometric data' could there be to show this up?

Surely just checking his passport would have flagged up he had an arrest warrant outstanding - unless of course he had another passport he was entering on?

Or doesn't it look as good without including the 'in phrase' of biometrics?

One way that it may have occurred is: He was arrested, which resulted him being fingerprinted, and connected to the id he presented at the time of his arrest. He was released upon promising to appear in court at a later date. Upon re-entering Thailand from Laos, at the bridge, after the court date, he submitted a passport that was different than that which was presented at his arrest. Maybe he got a new passport in Laos?? However he also had to provide his fingerprints at the bridge. The fingerprints connected him to the arrest.

 

Biometric passports do not contain fingerprint data/images. They do contain a digital image of the holder and other data shown in the passport.

Any Idea how many illegal guns are "owned" and many Times used by.......Thais?

Guess if they send all those Thais owning illegal guns to go play with guns in the sandpits of the middle east there would be a real exodus.

This is, if course, another slur on the farang.

Got nothing to do with the battle against illegal guns, which the Police all over the world can not win.

Well, some hotel guy hits the nail on the head, the slump in tourism is because the Europeans stay away.

More negative vibes and proud shouting about western people, guilty of not, will certainly be beneficial for western tourists arriving.

Like daily razzia's, double pricing in state hospitals, negative treatment in Immigration as if all farang are criminal, and so on, and so forth.

 

Umm... When you break any law in your own country you have to face the music and the country has to deal with you for better or worse. If you break the law in a country which is NOT yours, that country does NOT have to let you stay - they can send you right back to where you came from.
