I see where your coming from on this but I can definately see the reason for anonymity. I wouldn't want to have my name splashed across the press for a decision I made, for whatever reason, during a jury trial that may not be the most popular vote in this country.

You know how things get, protesters outside the home, vandalism, death threats by freaks, etc........

Serve your country, state by sitting on the jury just to be harrassed afterwords would be wrong!
