Don't think that would do it anyway; international departures (where the AC is) are in a separate secured area from domestic departures in SCL. You have to clear exit immigration formalities to get in.
There's no boarding pass check at all to clear security to get into the domestic gate area, but there's no AC there. (In fact, you just plop your bags on the X ray belt as they are and walk through the metal detectors -- no removing laptops or shoes, no liquid ban -- very civilized.)
ETA: or at least that's how it was before the earthquake -- haven't been there since.
