This is largely a moot point. All names of departures and international arrivals are sent to the Department of Homeland Security via the Secure Flight/APIS data pipeline. This returns to the airline authorization to board, select for additional screening (SSSS on boarding pass), or inhibit boarding (unless overridden by a TSA call center), as well as, for international flights, authorization for who can even overfly the country.
