I'm sure that won't cause any trouble.

(Actually, they probably won't even notice.)
Better yet-do what I do.....

Check-in online*, reprint my BP at one of the kiosks, give the TDC the on-line version of my BP, clear security, rip up the on-line BP withe the "security squiggle" on it into little iddy biddy pieces and toss into the nearest trash can and use the kiosk issued BP to board my flight.

*if you don't have access to on-line check-in, simply print two copies of your BP at the kiosk and repeat the above
