American Airlines is cracking down on 'gate lice' passengers who try to skip the boarding line.

The airline is implementing a scanning system that will emit an audible alert if someone is trying to board ahead of their designated zone.

When the alert is sounded, the gate agent will ask the passenger to step aside and wait until their zone is called.
