Any one can doctor an esta printout so how would the airline know it's real without checking against the US database? Any way the esta says make a copy for you records... not so you can gain entry to the the US. It's just like all those online orders you do which says please print this screen for you records... all can be doctored fairly easily if you wanted to. I just make a note of the number just like I do with my passports.
