There's a user at flyertalk who reports encountering them regularly on flights to some destination that is associated with money laundering and/or organized crime, so it seems to depend on one's itinerary. | |

They'll look into your immigration status, which means they'll discover that you're a US citizen, and then they would most likely prevent you from boarding because of this law. You might be able to talk your way onto the plane if you explain what you did to get the passport and that it nonetheless didn't arrive in time. | |

I just had a bit of a panic attack when remembered they check your passport at the kiosk and the gate, but since that's not technically any sort of passport control or customs I suppose that won't be a problem... Thank you for the reassurance!! Definitely needed it | |
