Basically, yes. I must confess I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet (at least in a visible fashion - who knows what happened un-noticed). The danger has been talked about a few times over the years. I suspect if it happened, the quickest fix would be to simply discard any photo IDs, along with their signatures. A more delicate fix would take longer.
