Well, I don't suspect it would be a problem, BUT, you never know. While there are restrictions and the responsibility lies with the travel agent, there may be the odd chance that the check-in agent may see that there isn't a photocopy of the passport on file and may request one, causing additional problems?!?
Hey, if you can get away with it, that's awesome!
