oh lord - really?? Even for flights out of Stanstead, which seems to be the main airport using this right now.... ??
Have you tried it?? I know some people may be getting confused because they're trying to enter their flight details into the online check in system, although it won't let them because it is more than 72 hours before their flight - I'm not sure if this is confusing people, or maybe you just can't do it...??

Which passengers cannot use online check-in?

Passengers travelling with infants.
Passengers travelling with mobility equipment (including children’s prams/buggies).
Passengers with reduced mobility.

To answer the OP, yes, anyone can check in online for Stansted routes PROVIDED they have hand luggage only. With the new hand luggage restrictions that requires some careful packing. Update: sorry, just noticed the original posting date.
I checked in online yesterday for Dublin-Stansted and Stansted-Italy. I had problems in IE but not Firefox.
