It's two fold. One is trying to generate publicity for a program that is terribly unpopular. The second is to generate support for Chertoff's Real-ID program by demonstrating that there is value in inconveniencing every American in the hopes of catching the 0.00001% of the population that might be illegal.

Note that they called the SPOT officer when the suspected fake ID was noted.
