I guess at this point I guess I can conclude passenger documentation requirements don't match up with the reality on the ground, and that some agents at some airlines (like ANA) follow these requirements on rare occasions, while others (like United) never do. Fascinating. Now I'm just wondering if they checked the return tickets for all the Japanese passengers as well? Somehow I doubt it.

Living in Japan on a non Japanese passport I am regularly asked to show an onward ticket or a residency card. Though not consequently. JL, CX, are the one doing most frequently. AA never did, but I kind of guess that it is as I never check in directly for a Japan flight with AA.
