The US Customs and Border Patrol in Cincinnati, Ohio announced that they've intercepted more than 2,000 fake driver's licenses and 1,600 "ID-making materials" coming through a single express courier hub just this year. Meanwhile, college freshman across the country bow their heads in sorrow. From Cincinnati.com:
The counterfeit licenses, which came in 343 shipments, originated in China. The fake passports were from various countries in Africa and South America.
The shipments were headed to addresses across the United States, and the IDs often shared the same photograph with different names, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection news release.
