Under 18 years of age does not require ID.

From TSA website. "Effective June 21, 2008, adult passengers (18 and over) are required to show a U.S. federal or state-issued photo ID in order to be allowed to go through the checkpoint and onto their flight."

We fly often and the children have never been asked for ID. The agents will ask them their names as they look at their boarding passes.

This has been our experience as well, your son should not have any problems.
