Will White House use ‘autopen’ again to sign fiscal cliff bill?

The fiscal cliff bill is in Washington, but the president has flown off to Hawaii to finish his vacation. So how will he sign the must-pass, last-minute, no-time-to-spare bill?
President Barack Obama is roughly 4,700 miles from the document in D.C. His staff could fly the bill by aircraft to his home-away-from-home, or he could use his “autopen” to conduct a long-distance bill-signing.
He’s done it before in 2011, when the machine signed bills into law while the president was in France and Indonesia.
