There's a thread on this in the DL forum, including links to news sources.

DL 1516 had a no ID Passenger on board,
TSA let her through, she chose to set in a seat, someone else had the assignment,
I have to wonder how all the legal people standing in line feel about the gate jumpers,
But who needs a REAL ID,,

How would "Real ID" have made a difference?

From the news articles it seems this person had neither ID or Boarding Pass. First question is how she cleared TSA security, second how did she get past the gate agent without a boarding pass. Plain ID, Real ID, or no ID doesn't change anything if she was screened by TSA. Perhaps she slipped through one of the employee entrances where TSA refuses to conduct full time screening. Bottom line Real ID wouldn't have made any difference.
