It looks like the ability to pass off fake IDs is in peril. A new detection system is undergoing testing. It found its first fake ID in the field. Some guy tried to board a flight out of Portland. The TSA worker stuck the fake ID in a machine, and it was flagged. Unfortunately, the criminal got away but security people found fake ID manufacturing equipment and supplies in his luggage. Yay team! https://www.kgw.com/mobile/article/...ogy-system-flags-fake-id-at-pdx/283-607239790 https://www.ncr.com/news/newsroom/news-releases/travel/tsa-technology
Going to be a problem with biometrics. Face recognition being the most prominent. The computer is a great boom for fraud, but it's making life difficult for conventional crime - just look at the burgeoning field of genealogical DNA now - 2% of all white American DNA will allow you to trace any white American criminal who left his DNA behind.
