I think the problem with all these funky new systems is there's insuffcient staffing at the gate to manage them. Usually the agents start the boarding, then get distracted by other issues and it's every man for himself.

Any boarding system including paper, scissors rocks is fine with me as long as my precious metal colored card gets me on board first.
