True, the check-in agent didn't admonish us for forgetting the ticket at home, but reminded us that paper tickets are good as cash. However, YMMV. We had a good agent who didn't make a fuss and called the reissue desk and printed us a new one. This was in MSP. Had this been elsewhere (especially overseas), or with a line of people behind us (we were in SP checkin desk on the main level, which can be busy at times) we'd have likely been refused checkin.
