How to travel with a different ticket name...
I inadvertantly flew without an id a few days ago.
I had bought a AUS-DFW ticket on AA
Then I had a DFW-DTW ticket on NWA...I printed this boarding pass on-line.
Since I was inside security, no one ever asked to see an ID from DFW-DTW. I could have used someone elses ticket.
An interesting trick since you normally cannot change names to ticketed reservations, but your are not asked for ids once you are inside security.
I guess, you could also buy a refundable ticket to just get inside security and then do something similar.

Works for me; I'm 100% in favor of no-ID travel with no extra harassment.

The government should have zero say in the ID requirement area.
