Question

Another option would be to buy a fully-refundable ticket to some other destination, clear security using that ticket, and then refund it. Then travel on your original ticket.
But isn`t that illegal?? What if the flight is delayed or rerouted? Or if the passenger has to recheck again?? Is this scenario quite common?
I am lost now. I thought my passport with the middle name would be OK but I guess it is much more serious.
