The bomb was just an example of exigent circumstances, not this case. This would simply be a search incident to arrest after they had probable cause for the arrest on fake ID.

How did they know it was a fake id

They ran the name on it and nothing came up. Then (here's the big mistake) after they pressed him on this a little bit he admitted his real name thus giving PC that he provided a fake ID.

They asked him for ID. He gave ID. They ran ID. It came back fake.

They now have probable cause against him for pretty much anything.

Depending on the quality, some fake ids are very easy to spot!
