DHS should just require passports or passport cards ($30) for domestic air travel and stop pestering the states. If states want to opt in to some program that provides the same information to the Feds as a passport, but in the form of state ID including a driver's license, then DHS can additionally accept those.
Set the Federal standard, and provide Federal ID that meets the standard, publish the standard so states can conform - and just leave it at that.
