Blur passports and travel documents in video
MRZ lines are machine-readable even when humans squint. Treat any visible passport page as high-sensitivity PII unless props are obviously fake.
Pair document blur with face blur on the photo page when both appear.
Reenactments should use fabricated booklets; blur is for accidental real-document captures.
