Not much to "hmmmm" about it when the same thing happened and happens with birth certificates, baptismal records, social security numbers, driver's licenses, school records, etc. too.
Usually -- but not always -- with the use of passports in the manner to which I was referring, it involves use primarily between two or more countries besides the country of passport issuance. Would a DHS-TSA employee be capable to determine such a thing? That begs the question, what are they capable of?!?!?
The flights from Poland to the US -- interestingly enough to Chicago -- are a situation where US passports ended up being used in this illegal manner.

As for my passport-- it contains biometric data. All they have to do is hold it up to my butt and make sure the crease matches and then they will know it is mine.

"Hmmmmm" just means I'm thinking about it.
That is precisely what I was thinking about . . . especially the TSA and a local LEO in the context of domestic travel.
With our Polish population here in Chicago, it isn't surprising that we would be the destination.
