That's nonsense. EK does not have a clue on who is still inside. They only log pax going in but there is no exit check. (In fact ,I cant think of any lounge which does an exit check)Unless they have put some miniature tracking device into the boarding pass.
I agree that there should be a check on who is inside and who is outside (for fire regs etc).
Also there are several entrances to lounges.(J lounge in B concourse has at least 3 AFAIK). They do have another layer of dragons doing a secondary check of the BP's at some entrances (if you look dodgy)
I have to admit that its easier for the dragons at outstations to keep track as the pax volumes are lower and there are usually a couple of hours between each EK flight.I have seen them do a manual sweep of the lounge and ask pax which flight they are on so that they can ensure that they are not missing their flight.This is obviously impossible at DXB.
