Mars...don't really disagree with much of what you say, except two things... one is that it is "common knowledge".. the point about common knowledge and common sense is that they are not that common. Secondly, the cut off times are set by the airline, there are no "legal" reasons for the cut off. The airline is legally obligated to make sure that all the appropriate screening and processing is done, but there are no "legal" standards relating to cut off times. It is entirely at the discretion of the airline and airport.
