Despite my dislike for the abuse done to passengers by TSA, I now understand why identity is verified by them. Were it not for the "no fly" list, there would be no other valid reason for identity checks.
The abusive TSA scanners and groping is another thing, altogether.

The TSA screener (TDC) looking at ID's does not compare that information to any list. That person has no idea if someone is on the No Fly list or not.
The TDC function is a waste of time and resources.
