Do you think — given the time and motivation — you could have made this too?

You mean as a physical document indistinguishable from a genuine Hawaiian document? Sure. Just get me some of the paper and the seal. :)

You'd probably do a better job on the Obama COLB seal than this one shown below given the time.

About 10 years ago, the going rate for a fake US Military ID was about $500.
It's more than tripled now, but quite doable with the right contacts; the bad guys
just need some extra bribe money to get it registered into the DEERS system,
then it's damn near impossible for OSI to catch them without a subsequent background check.

Even with all of the counter-counterfeiting measures in place — it's expensive,
but if properly motivated — one could even clone a passport good enough (complete with
holographic overlay) to get close enough to (allegedly) assassinate a member of Hamas in UAE.

'Scared': Melvyn Mildiner, left, and the picture used in
the cloned passport, right, claiming to be him.

Could you manufacture birth certificate paper to appear to be VERY authentic
— right down to the watermark and seal — if you were motivated to do so?

Obviously, there IS a market for that type of thing ...

In other words, referring back to Post 3123, if properly motivated, it is VERY possible to reproduce a fake birth certificate, correct?
