For what it's worth, opt-in (and clearable) checkout history for
patrons already exists, though you need a customized OPAC skin to
access it.  This will be added to the new template-toolkit-based OPAC
in development.

You can also use reporting to get circulation history, unless "aged"
circulations are being used, which can help break the link between
items and patrons.
