  Tom Craig, a former Scotland Yard fraud detective working for ID security firm Amarlis, said it was likely that the raid was carried out by a gang with inside knowledge of the shipment.
  
  "It would certainly appear they knew what was inside the vehicle," he said."These passports are very likely destined for criminals, possibly even terrorists.Even if only 10% of them are ever used, that's a lot of criminal activity and a major headache for the security authorities."He estimated that each blank passport could fetch £1,700 on the black market and said that with the right equipment information could be loaded on to the passports' RFID chip, which carries its individualised information.
  
  "We are potentially talking about 3,000 fake IDs," he said.

  Tom Craig, a former Scotland Yard fraud officer, said checking of passports at banks and building societies was a bigger issue.
  ...
  Mr Craig added that finding fraudulent applications was like "looking for a needle in a haystack".He said while interviews would help stop fraud they were just one facet amid a "raft of things that need to be achieved".
  
  Many passports were sold on to criminals after being obtained legitimately, he said, while others were stolen.
  
  And to be effective, interviewers would have to be well trained, he added.
  
  "If you are not good at interviewing you are not going to pick out the bad suspect," he said.
