What's not clear ? We're saying the same thing - TSA requiring pronunciation of names is
not a stated legal requirement of 49 CFR 1540.
107.

So if the sterile area to which passengers are admitted qualifies (and I don't see how it wouldn't), and verbal confirmation of name is defined
somewhere as one of the 'systems, measures or procedures' then it does have a basis in law of some kind. A very vague administrative law; which is exactly how the TSA likes it.
