Cellphone boarding pass?

Oh shit....the battery on my boarding pass is dead.

It looks like Continental Airlines is testing the use of cellphone and PDAs as a supplement to the standard boarding pass.

"The two-dimensional bar code, a jumble of squares and rectangles, stores the passenger's name and flight information. A TSA screener will confirm the bar code's authenticity with a handheld scanner. Passengers still need to show photo identification. The electronic boarding pass also works at airport gates."

No food, water, clean toilets or fresh air for you

It looks like the Passenger's Bill of Rights is no more. "A federal appeals court has rejected a law requiring airlines to provide food, water, clean toilets and fresh air to passengers trapped in a plane delayed on the ground."
