Willfully dense? I don't think so but thanks for the vote of confidence.
The question is what happens in two different scenarios.
1, have ID but decline to show ID to TSA.
2, do not have ID in any form to show to TSA.
You would have to ask TSA what alternative screening is since TSA operates in the dark like a bunch of criminals.
Of course the third question is why does identity matter if TSA properly screens for WEI since that is the only function they are authorized to do.
Edit to add:
When an employee of any work group cannot articulate a policy in an easily understood manner then I feel something is wrong with the policy, not the employee.
I am not finding fault with SATTSO, but I have to wonder how any such policy can be carried out in the field when it seems so convoluted that it cannot be described in relatively simple terms.
