The lounge receptionists do not need a boarding pass to confirm or deny access. Boarding passes are scanned on entry for certain information which is quicker from a scan than from having to type the info in by hand.
So it confirmed my suspicion from the other thread (thanks to
SLF for asking it again). And BA and BAA don't need to link up their systems. Pretty soon we'll all be implanted with RFIDs and tracked throughout the airport: "Would passenger BBA please stop looking at the top shelf magazines at WH Smith and make his way to gate 15 where his flight is now closing"
