TSA experiment: Paperless boarding passes

E-tickets eliminated traditional air line tickets, and now the Transportation Safety Administration is experimenting with paperless boarding passes.

The passes are sent to your cell phones or PDA, and contain a bar code that can be read at the boarding gate.

Officials say if it works, the paperless boarding passes will make it easier for agents to detect fraud and improve customer service.
