Anyone enterprising enough out there to be able to decode the barcode to know if you can safely pack your liquids deep in the luggage or keep them handy? Here are my *assumptions*. Yes, assumptions only, enlighten me if otherwise, please:
* the barcode readers at the airport are "dumb" and not networked to anything
* this means all information whether you are getting LLL or not reside in the barcode on your BP
* the "randomness" of whether you get it or not is determined when the BP is printed through AA webservices
* if you could scan the barcode at home or with your mobile phone (like a QR code) you could easily tell if you are pre-Check or not
* this is assuming that you could clearly see the "LLL" embedded in the scan once the scan data comes back
* the barcode is not very secure anyway, since all "dumb" readers can decode it
Someone want to write a quick iOS app for the iPhone to do this?????
And, I assume this is not a crime, reading your own encoded information, right?
