How do they tell if you're a Muslim if you want to go on the hajj or umra to Mecca and Medina? [more inside]

When, specifically, and under what circumstances were non-Muslims first barred from Mecca? Is there a scriptural theological basis for this? When was the last time an interloper was caught, and what happened to him (or was it her)? What is the current offical penalty for non-compliance? Foot notes appreciated.
