More likely this: Passenger has two reservations/tickets: One is Birmingham to Yemen with connection in Chicago. Second ticket shows local board in Chicago for Amsterdam. Passenger and/or accomplice get on-line boarding pass for Chicago-Amsterdam flight ahead of time. Passenger checks in and is cleared to fly in Birmingham and that gets him into international boarding area in Chicago. He then uses on-line boarding pass to board different aircraft perhaps using different name.

Box cutters and fake IEDs in luggage? Testing/taunting TSA. Farther deponent sayeth not.
