I totally agree, that's why I believe the requirement was shifted from the airlines' responsibility to the TSA directly. Now you are not being asked for ID to travel, you are being asked ID to pass a security gate.

No, it was shifted as part of the general shift of security responsibilities to the TSA so that the airlines (who don't have sovereign immunity) wouldn't be responsible for future security incidents, that would instead be the responsibility of the TSA (who does enjoy sovereign immunity except to the extent Congress chooses to waive that immunity.)
