Passport officers aren't too good at spotting fake photos

In the study, 49 passport officers from the Sydney Passport Office were tested on their face-matching abilities. Many were highly experienced, with an average of over eight years among them, and all but three had undergone a special training course on face recognition (which told them, for example, to break the face down into individual features and compare each one).

When the officers compared photos to live people, they let fraudulent photos through 14 percent of the time.

A few officers did quite well, and some even had perfect accuracy. But when the results were broken down, the researchers didn't find any correlation between work experience and matching accuracy. In other words, it seems to be more of an inherent knack than a learned skill.

In response to this particular study, the Australian Passport Office now uses facial matching tests during its staff recruitment process.
