Where do you live? Your boarding pass is scanned at the gate; you can’t just board any flight with your boarding pass from any other flight

Commenter was talking about buying two different boarding passes. But even so the scheme won't work.
You use boarding pass A with a matching ID to get through security and then board an aircraft with boarding pass B with a random name on it.
