Mobile Boarding Passes - Epilogue

Time - Yesterday

Location - MCO's security check-in line, right in front of yours truly whose on his way back to SJC.

The Characters - A middle aged lady and a man in his forties. They are both equipped with iPhones, the man is actually demonstrating the apps on his (some advanced battery meter), and they both talk about the mobile boarding passes they were sent.

The lady reaches the TSA agent. Apparently he has a special contraption on which he places her iPhone to align it correctly with the barcode reader. 2 seconds later, she's off to the X-Ray machines. Now it's the man's turn.

The guy (who had his iPhone in hand and was using it seconds ago) starts looking for the mobile boarding pass. 30 seconds later he turns to me, embarrassed and suggests I go ahead in front of him which I do. So does the guy after me in line, and the lady after him. Three or four passengers later our embarrassed hero manages to locate the message from the airline, click through to get to the boarding pass and is allowed to proceed.

QED.

... and if you still need some context - read my previous post on the subject here.
