Under PASS ID the same as under REAL ID a traveler who does not have a qualifying government issued ID will be subject to greater scrutiny as Transportation Security Officers (TSO) determine his or her identity and confirm that the passenger is not on the Terrorist Screening Center's watchlist.

TSOs make an appropriate decision based on an assessment of available identification that a passenger may carry, or information that the passenger can provide.
