American Airlines is testing a new technology at three airports across the country during the boarding process that aims to cut down on passengers who try to cut the line.

The technology, which is being tested at Albuquerque International Sunport Airport in New Mexico, Tucson International Airport in Arizona and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Crystal City, Virginia, alerts gate agents with an audible sound if a passenger tries to scan a ticket ahead of their assigned group.

    Actually, I do.

    I hate, hate, hate waiting in line. I just want to board the plane and sit.

    I usually check a bag (free checked bags) and just have a personal item.

    I try to make sure I am first for my group.

      If I have a personal item only, then I will board last or last of my group. I’ll have plenty of time in that airplane seat during the flight.
