Is this a JFK thing? Poorly informed employee wrt to secureflight?

I assumed she was alluding to secureflight, however, from the TSA's secureflight faq:


Q. What if my name and I.D. do not exactly match when I arrive at security? Will I be turned away and unable to fly?

A. No. Secure Flight will not impact the process at the security checkpoint in any way.



any ideas?
Was suppose to start June 1 every where else.
Is there a reson why u want your boading pass and ID to have different names/spelling?
