I know thats not really the right thing to do, but would anyone notice?
Since 2008, Chinese airport security snaps a webcam photo of you when checking your BP and that comes up at the gate when you beeps your BP. You can't possibly check in twice, go through the checkpoint once (esp. international), and then board the other plane. Exit immigration probably also snaps a photo, and I don't know how things are linked up to the security side, and the API database. (Two weeks ago in PEK T3E I saw a pax-count-by-flight display at security.) China is simply not Malaysia where the Iranians left the country as Iranians then boarded MH370 as Europeans.
