The two men look completely different, so how did John manage to fool passport control? Obviously Vaughn would have had 'connections' but would he have been able to have a passport forged that easily? Or was security just incredibly lax in '95?

Getting through customs with fake passports aren't really the big issue here, it can happen.

The big issue here is how did Lucas join MI5? Yes I know the real Lucas North had already sent in his application and his background checks had been verified, but how the MI5 not know the real Lucas North was in Dakar? If he had sent in his app, then MI5 would have kept an eye on him as they did on all recruits. And then Harry would know that Lucas was in Dakar and not been surprised when our Lucas told him about being in Dakar. So why wasn't that in his report and why did MI5 not keep an eye on him?

And just why didn't anyone recognize that our Lucas looks nothing like the real Lucas North? Am I to believe that he just walked into an interview without anyone realizing he's not the real guy? Or that no one in MI5 saw the real Lucas North's picture??

Security at MI5 was really that bad that a person can just walk in a pretend to be someone else?
