It's mentioned that the agent thought this to be a glitch and let the actual person board anyway.

  The gate agent will (we can only hope) be fired for this. He circumvented the security system.

    Right, because software famously has zero bugs, and whenever people bypass the buggy system to help you out, they should be punished. Sounds like a great society.

      the common sense thing to do would be to allow the customer with a valid boarding pass to board, and also proactively alert security to check the plane, just in case it’s not a software glitch.

    When people describe systems as kafkaesque, I suppose you see that as a compliment?
