Obviously you are a very negative person who just wishes to ***** and moan rather support the Federal program aimed at keeping you, your friends, and your family safe...
Believe it or not, most TSA Agents are current or retired military and law enforcement, they are very educated and yes, they can even spot a fake/altered ID...
Get a life and become positive!!!

You will never get my support as long as you employ un-American practices to keep me "safe".
Even if you're ex-law enforcement, I really doubt you could tell a good fake from a real ID given the amount of time you spend processing people. And I know you can't tell if two similar people swapped IDs. I've seen more IDs than most cops have, took classes on determining ID veracity and I still needed to ask the person with another's ID a lot of questions to determine that the valid ID they were using wasn't them.
The probability that the person 1)checking IDs knows what he/she is doing other than the name match and 2)actually catching someone attempting using an altered/exchanged ID is almost zero.
