So, where ever OP shows up, OP has bent the rules and it is clear this was done, deliberately.

In practice, this implies, OP will be the playbal between these parties. It will be just luck, when it won't be the Police. When the airline might be afraid to get the blames and tries to move OP out to somewhere else, OP might be lucky (Though not likely, because "somewhere else" will probably create another -passenger history- problem for CX). And when it is the Police getting involved, expect some jail time.

Don't forget: Where people on late-arrival flights "eagerly" hurry up to the next gate to make their near-miss transit connection, the result has already been decided by the airlines. So, even when you manage to show up before the gate closes, if the airline decided differently, you won't be admitted to the next flight. Of course, unless you make a mess of it and delay your next gate more than reasonably can be expected.

Or so to say, aside from the passenger "moving" inside the terminal, there is a tracking mechanism in place to follow the passenger.
Where do you get that the police would be involved?
