So easy to "GOOGLE". Actually easier then asking a question here and waiting for an answer. If you need a 100% "legal" answer (unless someone CLAIMS to be a lawyer here) either call the TSA or a lawyer otherwise all you will get is "opinions."

What Identification Do I Need for My Kids to Fly? | USA Today

The Transportation Security Administration is the U.S. government agency that protects the nation’s transportation system. It mandates that all adult passengers, 18 and over, must show a valid U.S. federal- or state-issued photo ID at security checkpoints. IDs must contain the name, date of birth, gender and an expiration date such as a driver’s license. However, it does not require an ID for minors under 18; children only need a boarding pass to pass through security.

That being said, can't a 17yr old still be a terrorist?
