Airlines sell return tickets for little more than the price of a single
(less, sometimes). They need a way to stop people selling the return
halves on ebay, if their T&C are that both halves must be used by the
same person (they usually say this). So it's fraud prevention. All this
a long time before wanting people's names for security reasons cropped
up. Perhaps the answer is to make all full-price tickets anonymous, and
all discounted ones issued on the basis that the passenger is named?
