Even when I'm leaving my office, I check to make sure I have everything, even if I'll be in the next day. I'd be so paranoid about not having everything with me at all points. And, as for the cameramen/production grabbing the passports and giving them back, that would technically interfere with the race. If T/D had actually gotten ahead of team and got to the finale, would it be fair to give them their passports back to complete the race? I'm not sure. They got fortunate that they got their passports back quickly enough to just miss out on the finish line. And while they wouldn't have been stuck in Russia, they would've been stuck during the actual finale.

From the way Dallas told it, they didn't ask him to remove it, they just unhooked it from him, and he didn't notice it was off. Double checking is always important, but I can also understand that these people are used to get groped by crewmembers randomly.

However, the person in the foreign country who finds a lost AMERICAN PASSPORT can sell it and use it. Passports are property of the US government. Whether or not they showed a reenactment or not, the crew has an obligation to safeguard those documents if they know that they've been left behind. The screenshots make it look like a reenactment so I don't think they were lost forever but they should have explained why they weren't concerned about the loss in the first place.

The question you should be asking is why Dandrew didn't go back to the theater to get their shoes AFTER checking in at The Pit Stop. That's the question I thought FJ was asking.

The United States has these neat little things called Embassies, that have some very nice people working in what's called "Consular Affairs". The Embassies' Consular sections are set up to replace lost passports pretty much on the spot. Yes, but it does take a few days....not a one day turn around. No, it is indeed just one day. I had a few tourists this summer lose their passports (I work as a travel agent) and they went to the American embassy that same day...they went to pick up their new (temporary one year only) passports the next day.

What, you think having an American passport acts as a cloaking shield to ward off harm? No one gives a shit whether you have a passport or not should you require medical attention. What, you think being stuck in a foreign country without your passport is no big deal? Perhaps for someone that hasn't ventured any farther from his mother's basement, maybe. First off, fuckwad, I didn't say it wouldn't be a problem. Sure it's a hassle. Most of travel is. I said it wasn't a "safety and security" issue. You're the one waving their hankey in one hand sniffing at the smelling salts in the other like some Victorian maiden because of the horrible, terrible situation that production put poor widdle Dallas in. "Safety and security" ... who are you, Mario? Secondly, my mother has no sons. Only some well-traveled daughters.
