It really depends on who you are.
If you fly hidden city without FFP involvement, the chance is not only DL, but most airlines won't lay a finger on you. While each airlines has massive data, it just takes too many works to sort out who's who. In many cases, it is not worth spending the resources to go after these people.
However, if you use FFP in anyway with hidden city, things will be easier for airlines, as they can trace back your flight history. Lawsuit or not, the very first thing the airlines can do is to revoke the membership and forfeit all miles/points.
Of course, people may say this may not even occur. But based on the news, airlines had sued. Airlines had revoked membership before.
Is it a risk you are willing to take? Not me for sure.
My 2 cents.
