You can buy the ticket under whatever name you like. Identity is verified at security, and you can edit the boarding pass to match your real name.

I can't believe the point isn't getting through. I'll take my shot at it.

--------

A is on the no-fly list. He is trying to fly.

B is not. The airline Computer expects B.

-

A brings the following things with him to the airport: ID A, Ticket A, Ticket B

Security: Ticket A vs ID A

Boarding (America): Ticket B vs Computer (B)

Boarding (Canada): Ticket B vs Computer (B)... vs ID A
