Patent people don't get to travel?

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

Apple has patented an e-ticket system.

OK, I can understand that patent examiners in the US are hired for low-digit IQs, 
and a lack of technical smarts.  But don't they ever get vacations?  This system 
looks identical to the ones the airlines have been pushing for a few years now.

Certainly, in taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy;
but in passing it over, he is superior; for it is a prince's part
to pardon.            - Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626), Essays (1597)
