I made it all the way from an EWR ticket counter to the plane without a boarding pass that matched my ID last week.

The kiosk could not print my boarding pass and a message referred me to the ticket counter. After dealing with the rude ticket counter agent I proceeded to the gates without noticing she gave me someone else's boarding pass (of a different gender). After going through security I not only proceeded onto the plane with the wrong boarding pass but realized I had forgotten to remove my baggie of "liquids" from my suitcase - not only that did that go unnoticed but I may have gone unnoticed except that the person who's boarding pass I was holding had boarded the plane before me. The gate agent was clearly annoyed with the ticket counter agent's mistake and asked me how I got through security - I'm wondering the same thing!
