Similar to the OP's post:

Fans of various celebrities are typically waiting after baggage claim or before security lines to seek autographs and selfies with their favorite stars--that's been going on forever. Recently I was surprised to see people who had cleared TSA stalk celebs all the way to the lounges. Apparently they buy tickets to throw away/or refundable tickets to increase access.

Doesn't this throw some monkey wrenches into flying, as far as capacity and seating issues, etc? Plus ethics...it feels pretty fraudulent, although I guess it could be worse-they could buy up to access to the lounges.
