Interesting UA paper flyer at IAD

Spotted at gate C19 at IAD, a flyer taped to the desk that says:

Who would have known it was that simple...


Checking for unsigned U.S. passports on German flights

Would have saved IAD $37,745 in 2014



It is up to everyone to check U.S. passports

*At the ticket counter check-in
*At the CSC rebooking
*At the gate
I wonder what the story is here — did UA face fines from German passport inspectors? Were people actually turned away from immigration and flown back to the U.S. to go sign their passports at home?? Fascinating.
