if you really feel like you need to get to gate, and some people would definitely say this isn’t cool, book a refundable ticket for later that day, then go through TSA, meet them, then cancel. Just make sure to cancel for a refund before your flight departs.
Or book an award ticket to anywhere and cancel after getting airside.
I've done this myself.
