    The TSA says a lot of things.

    Westjet has been doing paperless boarding using cellphones for many
    moons now, although they don't scan the screen, instead the rep just
    confirms the flight number and enters your sequence number, then
    confirms the display on their screen matches your identification.

    If you want to make the gate agent's day, hold the phone out and say
    "sequence" followed by the three digit code, that saves them from
    squinting and gets you through faster then scanning a barcode or other
    paper solutions.

    I don't believe Westjet offers this in the US yet, but they definitely
    do for domestic Canadian flights.

    You'll also note that this neatly solves the whole "two boarding passes"
    trick for flying under a fake name by connecting the identification
    check against the database records rather then hoping the customer
    hasn't modified the paper that they printed at home.
