I think that system is already here in place.

DHS/TSA monitors this board, that's been proven in the past. If Ron were to cross the line on something, I don't think the TSA would hesitate to request for identifying information (IP address, for one) of any person spilling the beans on SSI stuff. While I can't say it for certain, that appears to have been done before here on FT.

As for falsehoods and misleading statements, the TSA embraces that as "designed inconsistency." I don't think TSAers would get docked for that, so long as it's in good faith and within the bounds of what they're supposed to do. But if were to reveal SSI or damage the TSA's reputation, then they'll take corrective action, regardless of someone who identifies him or herself here.
