IIRC you can have as many names as you want in the U.S as long as you are not using them for fraudulent purposes.

  She could not have actually gotten on those flights unless she had fake ID, so then entire purpose was to claim insurance for flights she could not get on. Surely that is fraud just about anywhere.

    It's also wire fraud, and securities fraud. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-06-26/everything-everywhere-is-securities-fraud https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-06-26/everyt...

    the question was not whether she committed fraud or not, the question was: "Creating fake identities is playing fair? In which country?" The question supposed that creating fake identities was by itself unfair, but in the U.S other conditions must also apply for it to be considered unfair.

  Excuse me, that sounds implausible. Could, say, any U.S. citizen able to drive legally get a driver's license under a made-up name, as long as they only used it for lawful driving?

    As in most things in the U.S it probably depends on jurisdiction, and also of course what you are doing. Here for example is something pertaining to New York, and also some federal statutes https://law.jrank.org/pages/7503/Impersonation.html https://law.jrank.org/pages/7503/Impersonation.html Also of course the rules for getting drivers licenses depend on the state (however there are probably federal regulations around drivers licenses as well), and probably the laws of those states say you cannot use a fake name to get a drivers license. This is different than having a law regarding fake names. As an example of how this might work - Law 1: The law regarding usage of fake names same you cannot legally use a fake name if you commit fraud with it. Law 2: The law regarding getting a drivers license says you must provide your true name to get a drivers license.
