Agreed they are children. But it's hard to make exceptions in this age of increased security. Will the United states allow anyone in if you claim that "my US visa is in the old passport". Whose fault is it if you don't carry travel documents. I am not actually surprised by how Viraj and Vaishali are reacting to this. It's easiest when you goof up and blame third-world insensitivity. Viraj and Vaishali, shut up and carry passports next time around
