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.
