They may have made the page purely for SEO to grab a few people considering downloading GIMP.

I’ve used one of those before at an airport and it worked exactly as you say. I think it was just for boarding though. I just walked forward and when I got to the front, they greeted me by name and I got on the plane. I don’t remember having to show my passport or boarding pass that time either (but it was last year so I may have forgotten).

Yeah they put ads on that little screen you use to pay. Also it never has any receipt paper loaded.

One time I tried to tell this joke to a friend, but he immediately blurted out “Your mom!” Can’t complain because I guess I set myself up for that.
