They are only scanning the boarding passes to make sure that they are not fake (eg. an online check-in boarding pass may be edited before printing).

SecureFlight fields are only used BEFORE YOU CHECK-IN for matching your name against the no-fly lists.

It becomes irrelevant after you check-in as you wouldn't have received a boarding pass in the first place had you either not provided the required SecureFlight information, or if your name matches the no-fly list.
