It does say that if you forgot your ID, they may be able to verify your identity through other methods AND publicly accessible databases...additional security screening may also be needed.

My take away, for a handful out there...don't think you are going to be a dick just for the fun of it and try not having ID to see what will happen; there will be some major hassle...and it's not that folks without ID can just wander of their own accord onto an aircraft.
