The bigger question is why the TSA, in their infinite stupidity, requires anyone to say their name at all.
The TSA clerks who post here have repeatedly claimed that their mission is to prevent "prohibited items" from boarding the aircraft, not "prohibited people."
So why do they ask anyone's name at all?
