<p>Actually, I wrote about this in 2001 for Communications Convergence, RIP. Not sure if it was ever actually implemented, but it was scheduled to go live with Lufthansa that September. The WAP-sent barcode app involved voice printing and verification to ensure identity. </p>

<p>Aha! For once I can catch you in something. Continental Airlines has already rolled this out in a couple of their hubs. I've used it in Houston and Newark. </p>
<p>It's a bit flaky. They sometimes can't get the wand to read the phone/pda screen. Of course I have a Blackberry Pearl with a small screen which makes it even more of a challenge.</p>
