As I understand (at least anecdotally, from other postings on this board) you can clear TSA without any ID, but will be subject to a VERY thorough SSSS. Never tried it myself though, so don't hold me to it....

I have been told that one of the keys is to get a police report filed that says that the wallet was either lost or stolen. Then you take that with you to the airport, etc. Never tried it, but I have heard from others that it helps.

I'd try to get some kind of documentation about this, like a police report. Maybe ask your hotel to write a letter stating the problem. Something that offers some kind of official explanation. Getting the boarding pass is not really an issue. But yes, you will be subject to a complete search at security.

Ouch!
But I'm going to move to the Travel Safety/Security forum where it can get wider input, since this is not a UA-specific question.

If there is anyone who can get into your house and get some ID that you did not carry with you (perhaps a passport?) have him Fedex it to you immediately.

Would it have a photo? If not, I understand that you need two IDs to avoid SSSS. But just take the SSSS. It's not such a big deal.

Can you count on being allowed the SSSS treatment, or might they still completely refuse to let you travel? Many airline websites (I checked AlaskaAir as an example) say that without photo ID you will NOT be allowed to travel, and they do not indicate that there is any workaround.

Use online or kiosk check-in to avoid the ticket agents who are worried about revenue protection.
As for the TSA, you technically don't need to have ID on you, but some sort of proof like a police report would probably be helpful. Just be firm, but polite, and ask to speak to supervisors if there are any problems.
