it is the airline's responsibility to ensure you have correct documentation. Some airlines won't print your boarding pass until your documents are verified where as others will let you print it but then you must see an agent before you are allowed to board a flight. Either way you have to stop somewhere. Chances are better that you won't have to wait for a kiosk or if you do it won't be very long.
