Why do you think so? If a human can detect a fake passport why a computer scanner can't detect it?
It even makes sense to do it like this:
1 the passport includes a picture of you but it could include a hash of your biometric face
2 you go at the checkpoint, put the passport in a scanner and your face is also photographed by a camera, the sash is generated and compared, then the hash is deleted, the airport people just care that the passport is real(they can check serial codes or chips if present in the passport, check the other security areas of the passport) and the person using the passport is the one in the passport.
Airports or air transport companies should not be in bussiness of collecting bio-metric data. If NSA or the government of a country wants to create such a database they should propose a law for it, when you get or renew your ID card,passport then you would be added to the national database because such is the law not because you are forced to chose between getting in the plane faster or some unpleasant alternative way/
