If you try to board earlier than the group listed on your American Airlines boarding pass at Chicago O’Hare Airport, a sound might go off.

CHICAGO (WLS) — American Airlines is putting new technology at Chicago O’Hare Airport to stop line-cutters.

The airline is expanding technology to stop people from boarding before their assigned group.

Now, when someone’s boarding pass is scanned before it’s their turn, a sound goes off.

This technology is already in use at a few other airports around the country.
