What happens if you have a cell phone boarding pass and your cell phone battery goes dead as you get to the gate?

Pretty poor planning on the cell phone owner's part, I'd say. As bad as losing a boarding pass . . .

What I don't get about the cell phone BP is how it works at the Security checkpoint. At many airports, you're supposed to keep your BP on your person as you transit the WTMD, but your phone is taking it's little detour through the X-ray. How does the useless post-WTMD BP check get done in this situation?
