The coolest way to get your boarding pass is on your PDA or cellphone. You order it up, show the screen to Transporation Security Administration reps and they scan the bar code.

The Mobile Boarding Pass, as Continental Airlines calls it, is so far available at only a few airports, including those in Newark, N.J.; Boston; certain Houston terminals; and at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

You must be a single traveler on a nonstop domestic flight. Northwest Airlines is also doing paperless boarding passes, from Indianapolis. Some tips: Use the airline's mobile website. Save the boarding-pass page off-line on your PDA. And remember: You'll still need to show a photo ID at security.
