Unless the TSO ID checker has every name on the no-fly list committed to memory, that TSO is not checking against any list at all. All they can check for is to see if perhaps the ID is fraudulent, which is not security for air travel.
At IAH on Wednesday and EWR on Thursday, my PortPass still worked, even though an expiration date is not easily ascertainable (and neither TSO found it).
