Again, is it not her responsibility to ensure that her passport photo is not outdated?
Say for example that a transgender individual fails to update their passport after a facial re-constructive surgery yet has other form of identification to probe that he is indeed the owner. I don't think that will fly. The case of Ms. Mohamud is similar although to a lesser degree.
It comes down to this: You do not travel international borders on planes with your driver's license, health card, etc.
You use your passport that has a photo that identifies you as its holder.
If your passport fails to identify you as its holder-as is this case, you should not be permitted to travel, and should rightly be thrown in jail.
And although she was found out to be the holder of the passport, she is not in a position to blame anybody because it was her that failed to assume the responsibility to keep her passport identification updated. Taxpayers should not pay for something that Ms. Mohamud brought on to herself.
If she is not consent with the way she was treated-which is fair-by the Canadian government, then why doesn't she simply throw away her citizenship? After all, she is an immigrant that came to here by choice.
If anything, the crown should prosecute her on ground of treason.
