You're right about obtaining passports, the U.S. Department State have cracked down and make it more difficult, as it shouldv'e been all along.   The forging being done in Los Angeles has been going on for well over twenty years, that crossed at least four presidential administrations.   If my memory serves me, local TV had a three part series on it.   It was a no joke serious presentation of the ease of obtaining forged documents of your choosing, right in the heart of Los Angeles.   It was like the forgers were defying local, and federal authority then, and are still doing it now.

Passports are going digital in a couple of years. Also, now you have to apply in person, which did not used to be the case.
