Can this even be done by anybody except the Captain of the flight? I thought the Captain agreed to close the doors once he was informed everything is ready.
I doubt any Captain would allow the doors to opened again just because some passenger is late, unless ordered to do so by somebody suitably senior, and I doubt that would include Special Services.
I've had it done for me before and I'm by no means rich or famous. All really comes down to how lucky you get with the staff on duty.
