The other person went through a WEI security check at TSA so that is not an issue and regardless of my thoughts on the pure theatre of the ID checks, since all were screened no issues.
I don't put to malice what is likely incompeincompetence so I would guess lazy and/or rushed agent saw the name and thought another agent did it without doing more thorough checks. It is an interesting and what I suspect is a very rare situation. Play the lottery tonight! ;-)
