Have you noticed that airline tickets are once again de-facto
transferable? If you print your own boarding pass at home, you can
digitally change the name on it before you print. If you have no
bags to check, then the person who checks your ID at the security
checkpoint has no way to read the bar code, and the person who reads
the bar code at the gate does not check your ID.
