How would you know what type of boarding pass to create and what flight number/destination/seat number to put on your photoshop creation?
As well as checking boarding cards at the door, we also count the number of passengers on board. Any extra/unauthorised passenger would soon be identified and removed. And don't you think someone would spot you running across the apron and up the aircraft steps?
Please engage your own brain....

I know the constant checks throughout the airport are a pain, but boarding passes are checked by different people for different reasons, and they are only doing their jobs.

As a handling agent we have to make sure that only passengers with a valid ticket and passport/visa for a flight are allowed to check in, and we have to double check the identity of that person prior to boarding them. This is partly to ensure that in the event of an accident we have an ACCURATE record of exactly who is on board the aircraft.
