@final3greens:
And? Your point being? I understand the content of the two posts you refer to.
I do not understand the large bru-ha-ha over having to show a damn piece of paper.
Or not. If you have it in your damn hand and need to show it, then show it. If you have it in your damn hand and no one asks for it, then don't show it.
Shall I clarify, perhaps?
$ a = boarding_pass_in_hand
$!
$ IF boarding pass asked for
$ THEN
$ show piece of paper
$ stop whining
$ go to assigned seat
$ ENDIF
$!
$ IF boarding pass not asked for
$ THEN
$ don't show piece of paper
$ stop whining anyway
$ go to assigned seat
$ ENDIF
$!
