It really varies by airport. For example, in Newark, in order to get into
any of the gate areas you almost always need to show a ticket before you can
go through the security check. Same goes for Boston. In Raleigh (where I
live), anyone can go anywhere as long as you pass the security check. My
experiences in Dallas, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Portland, San Jose, and
many others is similar, you usually do not need to show a boarding pass to
get into the gate area. There are periods of time when security is
hightened but this is rare.
