Transportation Security Act, the TSA administrator is responsible for overseeing aviation security (P.L. 107-71) and has the authority to establish security procedures at airports (49 C.F.R. § 1540.107). Passengers that fail to comply with security procedures may be prohibited from entering the secure area of airports to catch their flight (49 C.F.R. § 1540.105(a)(2).
Has Kip now been given the power to overturn a court's decision, a la Chertoff's power to void any law of this country? Or has another secret law been enacted that now makes it illegal to fly without ID?

Someone just doesn't seem to understand that if a passenger is serious about not wanting to be "positively" identified, he/she is going to present ID that appears legitimate but is not - and the TSA will never know the difference.
