Quite true, although the terrorist would have to be inside the US first to do that. And undoubtedly it has happened. That's one reason the Passport Office people accept only the genuine state-issued birth certificates now, and no longer accept hospital or baptismal certificates. And also the reason why most states now issue their birth certificates on banknote-type safety paper that resist alterations.
