Why does it need JavaScript?
Because searching for people for whom you are unsure of the spelling of
the name works much better when you get results as you type.
The form is also designed to be used by Front Desk to enter new people
in the database: you start typing the data for the person, and as you
fill in the form you can notice if the person already exists. If there
are no results and you are a member of FD, a 'Create user' button
appears.
I find this is the kind of use case where AJAX really makes the
interaction much more efficient.
It's infinitely less efficient for people who are not okay with running
untrusted, often non-free (or even undistributable) code on their
machines.
