Seems like that practice opens the door to a good deal of fare evasion.
(Person A buys an Oyster-based Travelcard and gives or sells the paper
portion to person B. Now A and B can travel on the same card at the
same time!)

Except they can't, because the paper portion has NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL
printed on it, and wouldn't operate any ticket gates.

How many NLL stations have gates? (Although I suppose that will most
likely be changing in the near future.)

Well, Blackhorse Road has gates, but it is also a Victoria Line station (and
many people alight from NLL services there every am peak). I noticed that
Leytonstone High Road station has no ticketing facilities whatsoever - no
ticket machine, no permit-to-travel machine (that I could notice) and no
guard to sell tickets on train (although guard present in rear cab). What
does he/she do all day in the rear cab?
