Elimination of no ID?

Can someone high-up verify this, or find out why the TSA is not informing travelers or airlines?

A piece of an email floating around, not SSI:

"...(retracted TSA) reported that beginning May 23, 2008, the Ticket Document Checkers (TDCs) will be using new procedures for travelers that do not present acceptable government issued photo ID at the passenger screening checkpoint (PSC). (retracted TSA) reported that the implementation of these ID requirements is a portion of a larger change that will be coming later on. TSA reported that they have accelerated this portion of the standard operating procedure (SOP) change to further the Department of Homeland Security's efforts toward meeting REAL ID.

Under the new procedures, travelers will be required to show a form of government issued photo ID which will be verified by TSA TDCs using "loops and lights." If the traveler does not have acceptable ID, the TCD will accept two other forms of ID (TSA did not indicate what kind). If the traveler cannot produce any identifying information whatsoever, TDCs will summon a TSA Supervisor or Behavior Detection Officer (BDO) who will conduct a short interview with the traveler. If the TSA (BDO or Supervisor TSO) cannot verify the individual's identity, TSA will summon airport LEOs to assist. If the airport LEO can not assist in verifying the individual's identity, the individual will be denied access to the sterile area."

Unbelievable.
