EZY system is not connected to the security gates/scanners and unlike BA's doesn't have ready to fly requirement. So the system will not know whether you cleared security or not and will not reassign seats at that point.
EZY will know that you are not travelling and if necessary rearrange seats:
a) if you tell them
b) if you failed to check in, 40 min before departure
c) if you checked in, at the gate.
