Well thats deliberate. In any sane system the exit gates wouldn't open for
you if you hadn't touched in so you'd have to go to the excess fares window
and find out why. The fact that they do means TfL are quite happy to collect
the extra revenue knowing most people either won't spot it or can't be
bothered with the fuss of claiming the money back.
