Here too. Prosecutors in America can creatively apply the law to prosecute people including in matters such as this even in the absence of an explicit law forbidding fake boarding passes. Still strikes me as a waste of resources.

While I don't like the website creator's stated purpose on this matter, I'm not going to welcome official government harassment or more on this matter.
