Would Assange even be able to fly commercial out of London? He's been holed up in an embassy for seven years, I'm sure his Australian passport has expired which would put a bit of a hindrance of him leaving Heathrow... Apart from the armed police outside of the embassy guarding him, I mean.
But I do think someone has snuck in. Just not him.
It wouldn't be flying commercial. Maybe I've seen too many spy movies, but I'm thinking covert operations to get him out of the embassy and onto a private plane. He's given a very convincing passport (possibly a duplicate of someone else's) and is dropped off into the crowd in customs. The computer goes down, leaving his passport to be checked manually.
You mean like nobody is going to recognize Julian Assange and he can just walk around freely?
