Welcome to Flyertalk in your official capacity ^ and thank you for doing this ^. I "have a feeling" that you're gonna be getting a whole lot of work here and as I'm sure you know from your personal trips to F/t, we can be a tough crowd but I do hope that you'll be able to provide insight and help as the situations arise. Again, welcome ^ and thanks for donning your armor

Now if I may ask a very simple question...

Is it a requirement for a pax to state their name when asked by the TDC as according to the regs, the only things needed to enter the secure are are an I/D containing a picture of the pax standing in front of the TDC and a boarding pass for a flight on that date with the name on the boarding passs matching the name on the I/D presented by the pax-and if it is in fact required, why is this procedure not followed at every airport that I travel thru (and this is at airports where the lines at the checkpoints are both horrendously long and empty?

Ok, so it was more than one question but I'd still like to know the answer (and I'm sure others would like to know as well)
