That's interesting that it happened to you 4 times. I have never ONCE in dozens and dozens of RCC entries had that happen - they always scan the BP.

Is it possible that the agents were busy and trying to move things along so they saw you were a 1K and you knew to hand them your ID, so they just figured "this guy knows the drill" and didn't bother to scan it???

If you're handing them the BP only, and they look at it and admit you without scanning, that is just weird.
I read the OP as "printout" meaning OLCI boarding pass printout, but maybe I'm confused. I think the point the OP was trying to make is that he only showed the RCC agent his boarding pass and ID, and since it was NOT scanned, there would be no way for them to know he was a member.
