Considering the author and the subject of this text, you shouldn't discard that a kind of xkcd 326 situation is at play here.

A peak is followed by a decline. Why try to intenionally peak it, when there's a chance that it might get even better?

You can still buy uncut sheets https://catalog.usmint.gov/paper-currency/uncut-currency/

Does this mean you occasionally find poorly cut bills in normal circulation? If I received one, I'd also be suspicious.

Sometimes. I used to buy the sheets and rip out bills with half a bill on the surrounding 4 edges. They make fun party gifts.

No less irresponsible than charging a man with a felony over an obvious joke.

How is using fake IDs to board airplanes a joke? Only because we are mostly sure this particular man is an innocent manchild, but how exactly does that generalize?

Imagine simping for the TSA this hard

It was a different era, people were more cool and playful back then.

Not to mention not looking like a minority was a fairly strong shield back then and even is today.

Isn't it pretty irresponsible to commit a felony while you have a daughter and wife to take care of? I find his nonchalant delivery quite jarring. I don't understand what's going through his head here.

It's interesting now normalized it's become to have to show your papers before boarding public transport.

I am quite an upstanding person, didn't commit crimes and when I see police I change the side of the street I am walking on even.

As a minority, the police is scary. It only takes one bad apple for my life to take a turn for the worse. As it turns out, there is a non-negligible percentage of the population that hates my guts because of colour, so might as well be safe.
