It is embarassing enough to them to be caught so I don't go on and on about it. But I think it is terrible that people would try to do this. Whether the rightful people in B/F have been upgraded on miles or someone has paid full fare tickets that is where they should be! 9 times out of 10, the person is a MAN that was not upgraded as he thought he should be and is accustomed to sitting in B/F on other flights. But I guarantee you, if they witnessed someone doimg this when they WERE sitting in B/F, they would not appreciate the intrusion. As far as security reasons, it makes me uneasy to know someone is trying to "put one over on us" just by being sneaky. Who knows what their reasons are for trying such a thing.
