I think the point about fake idenity documents is, it being a criminal 
activity and make one liable for prosecution. So it is not just about 
immediate cost of getting a fake id, but the is high risk if you are 
caught. Not all frauds get caught, but some do get caught and it 
probably serves as a deterrant or it sufficiently sets the bar very 
high (I think 3 letter agencies can still take the risk).
