OK to use "stale" BP for standby?
Southwest has a policy to let you standby for no additional charge if you miss your reserved flight by less than 2 hours. Previously I had no problem passing security with a boarding pass for a flight that had just departed. Last time the TSA people told me I had to go back to the ticket counter and get a gate pass.
This sounds incorrect to me. Does anyone know the official policy for slightly stale boarding passes?
