That's reasonable. First name and emp ID are enough to make a decent identificaiton. Situations where there becomes a problem are when the name tag is either not visible, or the screener doesn't verbally provide her/his name then turns his back and heads to the other side of the secure area, making it difficult for a passenger to get the name and ID should it be needed.
