You must present a "government issued photo ID", such as a driver's license, city/state issued Non-Driver Identification Card, or even a Passport.
In other words, you need to be able to prove who you are, and that you are the person who's name is on the ticket.
I hope this helps.

They actually will only ask you for an ID (just a gov't. issued ID - most people use their drivers license but passport or other ID will work). When you go through security they will probably ask if you're carrying any liquids or gels. (And if you are they will ask you to take them out of your carry-on and you can only have 3-ounce or smaller containers that must be in a 1-quart ziploc bag). You'll have to show your ID at least a couple of times, when you check in for your flight and when you go through security.
They used to ask 2 questions when you check baggage - if you packed your bags, and if your bags have been in your possession since they were packed. But the government stopped making the airlines ask that - they stopped doing that a few months ago. I guess they realized it was stupid to ask that, because there's no real way of proving whether you're lying or not.
There should be more info. on www.tsa.gov

They ask for a government issued ID - just like the person who answered first stated.
They will also ask if you packed your suitcase yourself or if you have accepted anything from a stranger to transport.
