Isn't the situation described in this thread in in which the entrance to the secure area is done with a real document, i.e. gate pass, club membership, or refundable airline ticket in your own name?

After which, one boards the plane presenting a boarding pass to a gate agent (airline employee) and flies to their destination. No lying, misrepresenting, or otherwise falsifying anything to any government agent or official.
