There should be less confusion as to what is acceptable, because the list is smaller. And yes, BDO's or STSO's now have to get involved when someone doesn't have an ID. Though ID is still not required to fly, they are making it more difficult to fly without ID.
So a smaller list ultimately leads to increased intervention from supes and LEO, which means more delays and more hassles for pax. That doesn't sound like less confusion.
