UA let me check in online but when i got to the kiosk it wouldn't print a pass without an agent approving my passport. i found it odd, but again had no idea. showed my passport, she approved, gave me my BP. in hindsight, they probably flag all passports under 6 mos and UA checks them against the list of countries with that restriction. total speculation, but in 8 trips last year, i only had that check on the last one
