I think my friend managed to talk CO into giving him a gate pass, but if not, he said he'll get a fully refundable ticket.
It's funny, but I think that buying a fully refundable ticket without the intent to fly, but just the intent to go through security, probably counts as fraud. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but it sounds like fraud by definition.
