I'm not sure (and btw, I'm not a lawyer) that this statute prohibits the sale of FF *miles*. NB that "mileage or commutation book" as well as "thereof from which it was detached" strongly suggests that this provision applies to tangible tickets or ticket books (i.e., not intangible "miles" or "points.") Of course, since selling miles would require the cooperation of the airline FF department to transfer from one person's account to another, this distinction is probably moot. Oh well...
(On the other hand, there may be useful exceptions in the other sections noted.)
p.s. - And ditto the thanks to Always Flyin for tracking down that cite. I'd never heard of that one before...
