A man printed out his boarding pass on a gigantic printer while his friend filmed the reaction of the attendant.
I do like how the attendant was very accommodating. “Ah yes, here let me help you with that 4 foot boarding pass. We’ll just put the barcode right up here to the scanner…. there you go, please enjoy your flight”.
I wonder what would happen if you tried the reverse and printed your boarding pass to a 1% scale?
i’d say the current barcode is maybe 30 dots across 1 inch on the Plus-sized iPhones, give or take. Shrink 100-fold to 1% will make it 3000dpi.
First, you’ll need a VERY professional printer to print at that detail. Secondly, I mostly doubt the airport scanner has that level of resolution resolve.
But hey, it’s all fun right =)
