Hier mal die Info der TSA, leider auch irgendwie nichtssagend
Hier die Antwort der TSA:
In February 2002, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) assumed responsibility for civil aviation security at all commercial airports in the United States. TSA strives to provide a high level of security for air travelers and reduce inconvenience and delay.
Travelers must go through different clearance procedures when crossing international borders. The appearance of duplication and the amount of time needed to comply with several clearance processes can be quite frustrating.
Travelers departing from other countries are required to comply with their customs and immigration exit procedures. Passengers and their baggage are also screened for security according to standards established by the government of that country. As a sovereign entity, a country may establish its own security requirements for airports and air carriers that are not necessarily the same as those required in the Unites States.
Upon arriving in the United States from a foreign country, passengers and their baggage are first cleared for entry into the United States by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspectors. These inspectors cover matters concerning customs, immigration, public health, food inspection, and plant and animal health. After clearing CBP procedures, travelers may exit an airport or connect with U.S. flights.
The CBP entry process does not include security screening for passengers making connecting flights in the US. Before boarding a connecting flight, passengers and baggage arriving on international flights are required to pass through TSA's security checkpoint. The Aviation Transportation Security Act established a strict requirement that Transportation Security Officers must screen all passengers and baggage on flights originating in the US, and that checked baggage must be screened by explosives detection systems.
International passengers may need a significant amount of time between flights arriving in the US and the departure of connecting flights in order to accommodate retrieval of checked baggage, clearance through CBP entry procedures, and passing through TSA's security checkpoint.
For this reason, we encourage international travelers and schedulers to allow ample time between arriving and connecting flights.

Specifically, you are concerned that the name on your boarding pass does not match the name on your ID.
The Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) identity verification policy requires all adult passengers to provide a Federal or State Government-issued photo ID for inspection before entering the security checkpoint. These IDs should contain the following: name, date of birth, gender, expiration date, and a tamper-resistant feature.
Passengers who do not have an ID that (1) meets these requirements and (2) bears their name as it appears on their boarding pass should bring whatever IDs or documents they have available. For example, passengers who have legally changed their name or prefer to use their middle name can present documents such as marriage licenses, birth certificates, or social security cards. There is no set list of what forms of alternative IDs or documents are acceptable. However, the information on one of the items should bear the name of the passenger as it appears on the boarding pass along with other identification information.
If passengers are unable to present an ID or documents that display their name as it appears on their boarding pass (including passengers who have entered misspelled names or nicknames), or if TSA has questions about the ID presented, the passenger may be asked to assist TSA in the identity verification process. Under this process, TSA may ask the passenger to complete a Certification of Identity form, which requests the passenger’s name and current address, and may ask additional questions of the passenger to confirm his or her identity. If we are able to confirm the passenger’s identity, the passenger will be cleared to enter the screening checkpoint. However, the individual may be subject to additional screening. If we are unable to confirm the passenger’s identity, TSA will deny the passenger entry into the security checkpoint.
