I'd suggest refusing to turn over your boarding pass, and instead ripping it in half on the spot as evidence of your intent to leave, then keeping it in your possession. Besides, surrendering your boarding pass doesn't mean much in these days where you can either print a new one at the ticketing counter or have a mobile BP sent to your phone.
Misstep on my part. I did end up taking it back, but you're right, I should have ripped it up.
