Nope - ID is only required for passengers 18 and over.

From the TSA website:

"Effective June 21, 2008, adult passengers (18 and over) are required to show a U.S. federal or state-issued photo ID that contains the following: name, date of birth, gender, expiration date and a tamper-resistant feature in order to be allowed to go through the checkpoint and onto their flight. "

I fly with my dd's many times a year and they have never been asked for ID.
