you missed this then:

"Looking at that ID, having that initial contact with an individual, does allow us to know that that person is who they say they are," she said.

Asked how officers know a person's ID is genuine, she said, "We have trained professionals doing that work."

Yeah, glancing at an ID really keeps a terrorist from setting off his bomb.

Let me see:

"...he had a suspicious pair of shoes that tested positive five times for the explosive substance TATP on the interior of his shoes between the heel and sole. ...Strangely, after holding him overnight, airport security in New York released him. The FBI was notified after he was released."

Yeap, glancing at an ID makes us so much safer.

"Trained professionals" cannot tell a quality fake ID from a real one just by looking at it no matter how well "trained" they are. If you, or anyone else thinks they can, then you are seriously delusional. Only when you check with the issuing authority can you verify that it is real. Verifying that the person showing it is the person it describes requires another whole level of checks above that.

And before you start arguing, remember that providing fake ID is a huge business in America and they wouldn't exist if it weren't effective.
