Continental has expanded their pilot program for paperless ticketing as reported on KXAN (Austin, TX NBC affiliate). The program allows passengers pass through airport "security" and board planes with electronic boarding pass barcodes that are sent to the passengers and can be downloaded and viewed on devices such as cell phones. The TSA will have scanners at checkpoints that can scan the barcode on the device, eliminating the need for paper. I can't comment in too much detail since I have been involved in the architecture of this program for my employer. I will post about this again as the more information becomes public regarding the security of the program. For now, I will list a few articles that give more details regarding the program. You can piece together a good amount of information regarding the program by reading them (Be warned... some of them are re-posts and article amplifications and don't offer much anything new... sort of like this post :) ).
