So, what's to stop me using your email address as the return address
in that kiosk?

Technically, nothing.

In practice, it's a pretty poor way to defame people or send spam,
particularly if it's the kind of kiosk where you pay with a credit
card so there is an extremely reliable audit trail should someone take
offense.

Keep in mind that any kind of security is a tradeoff, and in this case
the tradeoff sure looks like a kiosk will send send mail that people
people want, not spam.

R's,
John
