Manchester Airport Question

Strange question. Is it possible to leave Manchester T3 after going through security without actually taking your flight.

Someone wants to meet me in the Escspe Lounge at T3. I was think of getting a Ryanair £10 Dublin flight ticket to get through security but not actually take the flight and then leave after my meeting.

Is this possible? I assume so because it would be like missing your flight but I wanted to know for sure.

It’s been a while since I last went throughout MAN T3 but the only way back out of the terminal I can think of once you have gone through security it by heading back towards security but then go down the stairs towards gates 1-19 where I think BMI regional depart from (the same area where Virgin Little Red used to depart as well). There is (or at least used to be) a corridor and exit to baggage reclaim / arrivals in that area.
