I looked at the card under magnification and there are numerous safeguards built into the card. Could it be duplicated? I have no doubt that it could be if a party had the resources and tools to do so. Being a limited use item I don't see the practicality of doing so as other items would be much more useful. Other than offering slight convenience the passport card really isn't needed at all.
