If this is for the first leg of a roundtrip itinerary, they will most likely cancel your return trip upon you pulling a no-show on the second segment. And no, you won't get the miles for your second segment, as your boarding pass wasn't pulled.
Not sure about the terrorist profile stuff... </font>
On the other hand...
I was in this situation a few weeks ago during some "irregular operations". I checked in and boarded the first leg of a RT. We were delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed... eventually I punted (3+ hours) called and got protected on the next mornings flight and went home. Shortly after I left the plane took off (there's a lesson to be had here...).
Surpise! I got the miles.
They sure had fun with my reservation for the rest of that trip though
Every time I checked in there was some sort of confusion...
