Default signs of age..or is the bridge going to fly off and hit me in my face

Perhaps the lines have always been there...perhaps I never noticed (I highly doubt that). I opened my guitar case of my 08 D-28 a few days ago, and my heart sank...

Some hairline cracks stemming from the bridge, an odd hairline by the upper bout, and some bubbling near the bridge itself.

My other acoustic instruments, kept in lesser cases but within the same moderated humidity do not show these lines. Please note, they are also much newer instruments.

I tried to capture the lines...I had to use Photoshop to adjust the curves/contrast of the image so they would display (in case you are wondering why the color of the image is really off).

So cause for concern or signs of age?
