Grammar again. This person we look at: has he already been processed at the airport? Theoretically it should be: "to have been processed". It seems that he has the procedure behind him.
What is your question?
"This person we look at: has he already to have been processed at the airport?"--would not be correct English.
I would also point out that the phrase: "This person we look at . . ." is clumsy English, and would be unlikely to be used by a native speaker of English.
Perhaps if you could give a more comprehensive explanation of what you are trying to say, someone could give you a better way of saying it.
Please look at the subject (heading)
This is what I'm referring to.
"The very last passenger to be processed" is a perfectly acceptable locution in the English language.
You have done nothing to make clear what question it is that you want answered.
