Not every airport and every country has the strict kind of security you’d think. So much of security at airports is security theater, but the passport is the key document. A stolen/forged passport might not be caught by someone quickly scanning the document. That might allow someone on board, but what about their baggage.

The question becomes what was the means by which the plane was brought down - x ray screening of baggage should be in place to screen, but is it possible that someone figured out a way to pass that through?

It’s still way early in the investigation, so all this is speculation at this point. I’d still wait for confirmation that the passport was indeed stolen, and hope that they find the plane’s location quickly.
