AATripping

So the wife and I are flying out of BWI to latin america. Outbound go through Miami.

On the return, we go through DFW for a stopover before returning to BWI.

It just so happens i have family in DFW and would like to "get off" the plane at DFW. My wife would continue on to BWI since she has to work the next day. I would just take a carryon and check luggage under my wife's name.

Is this ok with the new security regulations. one AA rep told me "People miss their flights all the time" Anyone have experience with this. Obviously it's dumb to fly all the way to BWI just to fly back to DFW the next day.

thanks for any help.
