from another time, my impression was that there is also a process involved, E.g. I think they do inquire from the gate agent the process on how/when the ticket was bought.
Ah! I saw something like this happen in AMS this past Saturday as we were doing passport control. The agent was grilling a young man because apparently his ID didn't look real.
