While I generally laud any action that makes fools of the aviation security establishment, I cannot support OP's suggestion of flying using an alias, unless:

a) alias is going to be earning and redeeming frequent flyer miles
b) OP is in some kind of OJ - trash the bloody glove and get out of dodge type situation.

This has been discussed here and elsewhere before.
Bingo!
