That and how any blue shirt could pick one out unless it was such a bad job that a blind person could pick it out. Faking IDs isnt that hard just takes a little know how and any ID can be faked right down to TSAs own IDs and SIDAs...opps did i say that out loud .

I know of several groups that have "tested" TSA outside of there own "red teams" and the detection rate is a Zero, with the all time favorite being the Front Admiral (spoof of a rear admiral) Conch Republic Navy ID card that didn't get a second look. Yet real govt IDs get scrutinized, called fakes and the security clearances to get them is above what a 3 stripe gets.
