From the TSA website -
To access Security Checkpoints, you will be required to present a BOARDING PASS and PHOTO IDENTIFICATION
From Northwest Airlines -
What identification do passengers need at the airport?
All passengers age 18 and older will be required to present valid government-issued photo identification (federal, state, or local). Example: driver's license or passport.
In the absence of government issued photo identification, two forms of identification will be required, one of which must be government-issued. Example: social security card and a WorldPerks card.
U.S citizens traveling to Canada must be prepared to prove their citizenship before boarding the plane. One of the following documents will be accepted as proof of citizenship:
Passport
Birth certificate*
Certificate of Naturalization or Birth Abroad*
Consular Report of Birth Abroad*
* Documents that do not incorporate a photograph should be accompanied by supporting government-issued photo identification. Identification that does not prove U.S. citizenship will not be accepted. Driver's licenses and credit cards are not acceptable forms of identification for proving U.S. citizenship.
These are both compliant with Public Law 107-71, so it would be interesting to know how someone is flying without ID....
