Something hard to impossible to copy, can turn as a problem.
Who can check with bare eye and little experience all the lines, seals, images
and secret marks, as well as signs that someone tempered with real document?
Only very few experts can do that. That is the point where "hard to
impossible" to temper with becomes weak point in real life.
The image on the credit card serves only one purpose, to make card lesser
attractive for many thieves.
Current Canadian Birth Certificates have built in anti-forgery images,
such that they become invalid when laminated. Of course you're talking
to someone who blacked out his signature line on his credit cards so
that the transaction has to be challenged by a valid g'ment photo ID
card.
