Both of the first two require some time to complete. This could delay the flight, and potentially make it miss it's take-off slot.
Congratulations. Due to your arrogance and stupidity, you have just delayed an entire plane for quite a few minutes.
Doesn't harm anyone they cry. Big Bad Government etc.
Will be quite funny to read up in a newspaper about the "big catch" FT member who does this on the wrong day and has to spend hours with police and TSA to get it resolved.
I thought there was quite enough arrogance and stupidity in this thread when you decided that a home printed airline boarding pass had become a legal document endowed with all the imagined criminal inveighing protections of the Magna Carta.
Backed away from suggesting "jail-time" have we?
Still think you'd be using your time more productively doing that mattress-tag check.
