I have actually seen an FAA pilot certificate with a photo on it, held by an FAA Inspector at XXX FSDO. (experimental, I guess, at this point) He said he watched the technician/clerk make it (in Ok. City, I think), and they just electronically grabbed the photo off of his Passport or driver's license. He said it was frightening how much access the person had to all info about him on one computer thanks to the Patriot Act linking-up of government & other databases.
