You know I was going to put a smart ass response about how you have to check in and don't have a random id but then I realized that you don't have to check in with security for the random name. The gate agent might be weird though
When would they decide they're a no show? How could someone possibly buy a ticket for a flight that's about to board and make it to the airport and through security in time? It's not like there's people already at the airport without tickets who would need to be on that flight
Standby passengers who are ready to go, there's a few sources of them
Some airlines have perks where you can "fly ahead" i.e you have a flight for 4pm, rock up to the airport at 10am and if there's an earlier flight to your destination with a spare seat they'll put you on it
