Haha they always want to GO TO CANADA don't they?So, about Kalari's diplomatic passport... here's the story she gave.
It comes from the 4h long stream on Twitch I clipped here, original link here, starts at around 01:19:00, clipped below.
She says that because of her situation with James' father, she couldn't get a passport for him (both parents' signatures are required). She needed a passport both for herself and her son, because she wanted to go to British Columbia. She lived in North Carolina at that time and contacted her representative, republican Richard Burr. She told him she would never vote for him but needed his help with this passport situation. He said OK. Kalari and her son flew (or were flown?) to DC. She went where she was told to go and stood in the general line at first, but someone came and sent her to the DIPLOMATIC section, where she and James got DIPLOMATIC passports and went home.
I have absolutely no idea if this can be true or not, so someone more competent please provide commentary.

Now I was curious, because the bureaucracy is some shit in this country:

Even if she were granted a diplomatic passport, it would be good for a period of five years ONLY. She would be asked what her mission was, what her title was, what she was doing, etc. while traveling. She couldn't use that for personal travel, period. It's only for her work. It's useless for a personal trip to Canada, she'd need a regular passport like her son would have, which would be good for TEN years. There's no way she could have traveled under a diplomatic passport unless she committed crimes and the border people didn't do their due diligence and check.
Those passports aren't given by a certain department, they are issued only by the Special Issuance Agency, lol. It's not like a different desk. Jesus Christ Kalari you would have had to prove you were a federal employee and it takes time to get them. A representative can't just handwave that. And no, I'm not talking out my ass. This all comes from the State Department's website. I had no idea there were so many kinds of passports! Very cool, I'm always learning here on the Farms!
ETA: Also why would her representative fly them to DC? You can handle all of that shit online. This is just a lot of magical realism, lol. He could just make some calls and ask "Why can't my constituents get their fucking passports, fix it." There would be no need for them to go to DC. Kalari is out here writing Jason Bourne spy thrillers, doing too much. I love it.
