You don't have your ID checked and boarding pass scanned moments before entering the scanner? Sure, you wouldn't know exactly the order folks entered the scanner after being identified, but assuming you couldn't correlate the scan to the ID based on other publically available information, all it would take is for you fly twice to correlate the scan to the ID (say... both legs of a round trip flight?).
- chx 11y agoI fail to see how could you exfiltrate data from the "name game" stations. I have watched very, very closely and I just can't see how your data could enter into a computer. Or do I remember wrong? I do not think they have an actual data connection to verify the validity of the boarding pass.

You buy a ticket under a false name and print out a second one that has your real name on it. The airline's no-fly list checks the fake name on the real ticket you bought but the TSA agent checks the real name on the fake ticket matches the ID that's handed to him.
