Sounds like a way to help people fight scams like this one.

The handheld device also prints a "shorty" receipt for Brooklyn/Queens trips as well.
Interesting, are these the same ones they are giving out at EWR? I hadn't flown into EWR for over 10 years and assumed it was just their standard practice. Resulted in a huge hold-up and the taxi queue. Now I wish I would have taken a photo to post it.
