Yes it would be more work but the payoff in customer goodwill would in my opinion be worth it.
My particular item was not a Drivers License and I am guessing that the TSA agents who handled my item actually had to do a bit of work to track down the flight that I was on and contact me. Great work in my book ^
I've never seen a TSO compare my DL name against any list, and almost any 9 year old can expertly forge a matching boarding pass at home.
Hmmm...I know people feel that the ID check is supurfluous (I have never understood that argument), but the 12yo's and below that I know could never forge a boarding pass that would get you onto an airplane.
Guys, I am very serious that the lost and found room at ORD was very large and all items appeared to be maticulously documented and cataloged. Good on TSA. ^ I had thought that this was an airport responsibility.
