One transmission source I wonder is the boarding pass and boarding pass scanner.

It seems the face-down scanners (your barcode faces down) would get more contacts than the face-up scanners. Most of the domestic UA scanners I have seen are face-down.

My last UA flight was on 2/28. Have they implemented any changes on that front recently (e.g. remind people to not have their phone / BP touch the scanner)?
