There was a recent announcement made Tuesday by the TSA regarding your right to fly on airplanes without ID. Apparently, in the past, one could fly sans ID by agreeing to a secondary pat-down and search of your carry-on bag(this is in addition to the possibility that your carry-on could be randomly searched before boarding). Now, the TSA says that you MUST have an ID and refusing to present one will equate to you being denied access to the terminals.

Beginning Saturday, June 21, 2008 passengers that willfully refuse to provide identification at security checkpoint will be denied access to the secure area of airports. This change will apply exclusively to individuals that simply refuse to provide any identification or assist transportation security officers in ascertaining their identity.
