TSA has gotten lax over the years. In years right after 911, any passenger getting off would have triggered a security breach which entails entire flight be re-screened.

BTW if you need to leave a flight just let the GA know and they can offload you. Granted you will not get mileage for the flight.

Yes it seems rather remarkable anyone would argue that sneaking off the aircraft after your bp has been scanned is somehow "okay."
