Well the barcode scan is essentially a surrogate for that (assuming the passenger didn't switch BPs with somebody).

The problem is if there are multiple planes after the BP scan like in the SEA bus terminal gates where the OP was departing from. No reason they can't have a second BP scan at the door to the tarmac for validation.
