Search this forum for "Hidden City" ticketing and you'll get a giant amount of information.

My takeaway: You can get away with it if

1. It's the very last segment of the entire trip.
2. You take only carry-on luggage.
3. You don't make a habit of it.

If you miss the first segment, the entire ticket will be cancelled. The airlines are pretty good about spotting Hidden City passengers.
