You can use your phone now. Not sure this will fly since you can't really see all the info. Might just be usable to hit the QR code or whatever when you're actually boarding.

Now I do not know whether I was then a head coach dreaming I was a Saints fan, or whether I am now a Saints fan, dreaming I am a head coach.

I said come in! posted:

Haha yeah there's no way TSA is going along with that.

They do it on Android stuff no problem right now.

They've got a scanner and I can just zoom in and do it myself. Then they fondle me and I'm on my way.

Hand the TSA agent your ID, put your phone on the scanner. Easy. Digital boarding passes are the future.

You people post like you've never used your phone for a boarding pass. TSA doesn't give a poo poo.

EDIT: They don't look at your phone. When you scan the QR code, it pulls all the info up and you hand over your ID to make sure it's you.

I'm not sure how the boarding pass will work. All of the airports I've been to have the scanner facing almost straight up, or slightly pointed towards the TSA agent. Do I need to twist my wrist around really awkwardly to make it scan?

TSA will be awkward since you'll have to flip your wrist upside-down, but assuming it works for all Passbook passes a lot of them will be less painful to use for things like show tickets or loyalty cards (although 2d barcodes may be too big)

Yup, which still means wrist upside-down. Don't think it'll be that hard, but suspect I'm not going to use it personally for boarding passes and keep using my phone or paper.

Can't they? I always assumed all the security of keycards was that you could deactivate them and the serials were impossible to guess.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Can't wait to buy one of these to try and fill the hole in my soul.
