It's worth noting that TSA does not conduct passenger screening at SFO. It has been outsourced. Look carefully and you will see that the personnel are not TSOs and do not wear TSA uniforms.

That said, they probably operate under guidelines provided by TSA, so the "interview" process to prove identity might still apply.
