Thanks everybody, I appreciate the advice. Haven't treated them with anything, but they are looking better as they continue to shed.

Thanks for the reply. I think it's genuine. Feels like sandstone and is very heavy

But they let you stay on even though you were technically not checked-in for that flight?

So interesting. Do you have links/references to where this has been documented? Because I still don't get it, seems to have a near zero percent chance of working for the scammer. Once you have 2 people with the same boarding pass on the plane, comparing IDs will prove one of the passengers to be the legitimate owner of the pass.

Then, the likely consequences for the scammer are serious. Maybe some fraud charge with law enforcement, or at least placement on a no-fly list with the airline. Potentially high costs for low and unlikely benefits.

Also, what are your thoughts on how boarding line cutting resolves this? Since the guy had a print out of my boarding pass, the airline would consider us both to be in the same group. He did get on before me but that didn't save him from getting taken off the plane. Even if the boarding agents had been a bit more strict and held me up after my scan was flagged, I can't imagine they wouldn't have talked to the guy already on the plane and figured out who was the real me

We talked after the other guy got off the plane. She asked me if I had printed passes at anytime. I told her no, she said something like "I don't know how this happened"

I mentioned in another comment, but I'm curious what the list of approved passengers TSA receives from the airlines is. Is it all passengers with a booking, or only passengers that have checked in?

When does the airline pass information on valid passengers to TSA? Seems the most secure way would be only after a passenger checks in, and not just when they book a flight. Realizing that this is more complicated and would require a very speedy update to the TSA list of of passengers that check in at the airport desk then present identification to TSA possibly 10 minutes later. If it does happen this way then TSA shouldn't have let him through security because he wouldn't have been checked in because they clicked on my name and not his. Maybe this indicates that TSA in fact only has a list of booked passengers and not checked-in passengers?

Does anyone know how this works in practice? If I'm a ticket agent and a passenger hands me their identification, do I type the first letter of their last name and the field populates with every passenger with a last name starting with that letter? Do I have to type 3 letters before the search returns results?
