Situation: Work has paid for my flight back home, but I am also traveling with my wife. I'd like to let her use my ticket and I would take a different flight to a nearby city and use public transportation to save money.

Question: Flights leave at similar times so we could both get through TSA with our own tickets. Could we then swap tickets before the gate? How strict are they on this? Think the gate attendant even looks at the name? I know they do not recheck ID for domestic flights.

Rant: To bad I didn't marry a guy, then I wouldn't even have to ask this question
