I think my 16 year old is set to buy a fake id

My son is 16, (17 in 5 months), and would most likely pass as an 18 year old at a push. When I walked past his phone the other day I noticed a message from an account that sells fake id’s. Knowing him he wouldn’t use it for clubbing, but he’s planning to travel the country over the year to watch his football team, so he’s probably trying to get served inside grounds and pubs such as Wetherspoons, even in shops at train stations ect like boots. I’m most likely not going to question him on it, as I don’t mind him having a few pints, I just want to know would his fake id pass the scanners some places have, will he be fine getting served at pubs, stadiums and shops when he shows his ID, and is their a high chance he’ll get it taken off him. Any input greatly appreciated.

They all have them. I don’t how many get detected but some do. They might not get served. But sometimes they get confiscated. DS used his older brothers driving licence (despite looking nothing like jim( and was always ok.
