Off my original topic, are re-issues of electronic xONEx's an absolute waltz in the park, or do the airlines agonize over them just as much as over paper?

Not minding the wad of paper I have to stuff into a myriad of hotel safes (well, no more than 19 of them) I still see no benefit to the traveler of the electronic non-ticket.

A few months ago there was a thread here about the perils of e-ONE's in that there was quite a serious problem with one airline's computer not knowing you'd flown the previous segment, so what the heck were you doing trying to check in *here* (or something like that???).
