Unless there is a penalty, some people will always try it - even if you get stopped, the worst case is your default boarding position. The only way to stop it is have a separate line ("sin bin"? :)) that the gate agent puts people in when they try to board early, so that they end up boarding last. Or force them check their bags. Humans respond to incentives...


Sure, it's annoying, but it doesn't really delay anyone, since throughput at the gate agent is much higher than throughput at boarding door.
