Once they go to the two dimensional bar codes on the boarding pass, the name will be encrypted into the bar code (and a bunch of other stuff) so you can't just photoshop a new name onto the document.
Not sure when that will happen, Blogger Bob wrote about it years ago

and every now and then I see a specification document listing the fields in the bar code, there's a thread about it someplace here.
Assuming they ever start using it, the days of modifying boarding passes easily will be over.

but I think based on "self boarding" in EU we are moving into a different direction.
