Whatever you do please, please, please do not scan their BP.
As someone who has witnessed the whole of the airside section of a terminal being evacuated, and being party to some of the decision making behind it, I wouldn't want it to happen again for anything but a genuine security threat.
.....and a missing passenger is treated as a very real security threat now.

Indeed, people are getting a little silly in some of the later posts which whilst unhelpful hopefully the OP can see through to some appropriate advice.

All UK passenger airports are security restricted areas under the Aviation Security Act 1982. This is nothing to do with terrorism legislation. To enter such an area on false documents will be an offence.
If you want to know how you will get caught, try it and find out. (And enjoy your time in jail.)
I would also say that if your entire moral compass is a risk assessment as to whether you are likely to get caught, you really are a sad individual!

Your moral compass tells you to call others sad individuals for merely speculating over likelihoods. A lot of people make an honest living speculating over likelihoods.

I'll assume sarcasm
Not sure anyone has doubted this outright.
Challenge accepted. (Figuring out how one would get caught. Not actually doing it. And not going to jail even if it were done, because wouldn't be caught under current measures.

As for the moral compass point, this thread has not been about actuaries having an informed discussion on the likelihood of being apprehended for a security breach. Instead I would interpret certain posts as incitements to ignore the law and common sense to the potential detriment of many passengers.

The only way to increase the likelihood of it being empty would be for your companion to check in remotely via the app, declare they're checking no bags, then not arrive to the airport.
Even then, if the flight is particularly busy they will be considered as a no-show having not passed security. So it's no guarantee.

Does anyone seriously believe that what you see, is what you get in terms of security at airports or elsewhere? It sounds very naive to me.

As for moral compass, I read your words and responded based on your words. That's all I could do.
