Despite what the DHS would have you believe, or themselves are unsure about, there is no ID requirement to fly and the checkpoint is not a dragnet for violators of the law. I'd like to say that even the TSA understands it would have a hard time testing such a requirement against the Constitution, but they're just belligerent enough to think they could.
