Fake IDs are not a threat to aviation. Finding them is no more a success for TSA than finding drugs or finding a perfectly legal wad of cash hidden in a passenger's shoe. Not that that prevents TSA from touting them as successes. Arresting passengers for not having their papers in order is a sad testament to how the USA is turning into East Germany.

I'll have to go grab my passport and flip to the pages to get back to you on that one.
