" Airlines have been the targets of scammers for generations. The days of Catch Me If You Can are long gone, but the dream of conning airlines into giving you free service lives on in the hacking done by one Przemek Jaroszewski, who makes fake QR codes that gets him into airlines&amp;#039; swankiest lounges.         Jaroszewski is an unlikely scammer, given that he works on the other side of the fence as the head of Poland&amp;#039;s Computer Emergency Response Team. But he&amp;#039;s a frequent flier and when he was accidentally denied access to a lounge\u2014in his hometown of Warsaw no less\u2014he saw an opportunity. He built an Android app that simply creates fake QR codes that simply read as a boarding pass for whatever name, flight number, destination, and class he chooses when they are scanned.  Hypothetically, it wouldn&amp;#039;t stand up to so much as a cursory check because his fake info wouldn&amp;#039;t show up in any actual system. But that&amp;#039;s assuming the people working the front desks at airport lounges get paid enough to show scrutiny. At the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas, Jaroszewski says he&amp;#039;s taken his app to many places in Europe and has yet to be caught. He hasn&amp;#039;t tried it in America yet, with the assumption that security is a little tighter stateside. But there&amp;#039;s only one way to find out.
