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.
