The passport is slightly more secure than that.

Is the entire American TSA leadership organisation that comes up with this nonsense full of feckless hacks?

They think they are doing the (leader's) work by stopping illegal immigrants. They also know that by doing so, they are pandering to a large portion of the public that demands an end to illegal immigration.... NOW.
