From past experience over a # of carriers at TLV, if you vol they will take your BP and ask you to hang out and wait.
If he actually shows up at the check-in counter and volunteer it's a different story of course, but first he has to go through security questioning, and if that will take him 30 minutes, and in the mean time the check-in counter is closed, he'll no longer be able to check-in a bag, so he is unlikely to be able to show up at the gate before it is closed, and OLCI won't help here.
To be IDB'd you need to both:
1. Be checked-in, either online or at the counter
2. Arrive to your gate before it closes
