Boggie Dog stated - "Having been a victim of a home burglary I am very cautious of my personal information. Being hours away from home this person could have easily communicated the information from my ID to others. A bit of a stretch but with the history of TSA employees not out of the question."

No need to feel paranoid! I recall reading about home invasions some 20 years ago, which were traced to a ring of baggage handlers.

I too take certain simple steps to mask my comings and goings -

1. Take a generic taxi to airport
2. If domicile will be empty do not discuss destination or duration of trip (otherwise let my significant other deal with the possible consequences)
3. Baggage ID tags contain my cell phone number, and an office address

Homeland Security Admin has now expanded the playing field by introducing a whole new cast of potential perpetrators.

And thanks to the other posts concerning ID by using Passport, or covering one's address on a driver's license. Yes this is for security. MINE!
