Carry-on Luggage Regulations
How can Congress take a good idea (limiting carry-ons) and make it
bad? By proposing to limit the number of bags instead of the volume.
It would seem obvious that the person with a small camera bag, small
"ditty" bag, and brief case is not the problem. The person with that
huge "I-can-carry-on-a-dead-body-if-necessary" bag is the true
nuisance.
Two or three small carry-ons can be stashed quickly and
easily in the designated spaces and will cause little injury in an
accident. Those huge bags take forever to be stuffed into the
overhead compartment and would certainly spell trouble if they were to
fall out. Rudy, please champion this cause, before Congress ends up
passing a law that will reward those giant-baggers and forces us
small-baggers to join them.
