If you're providing your passport willingly, aren't you likely to be giving the ID checker MORE information than if you just took the DL (or whatever) out of your wallet??

Not really. My passport pretty much has my name, birthdate and birthplace, and citizenship on it. Enough to identify who I am.
My DL has my name, address, which county I live in, height, weight, sex, restrictions (ie I wear corrective lenses), I'm an organ donor, etc. In some states, your SSN and blood type too.
Passport's a much safer bet, especially when dealing with TSA.
