    Someone heard about how a vigilante scored one for the people and raised their hand asking to be next? What a dumbass.

    Give a man a gun and he can rob a kiosk at an airport

    Give a man an airline and he’ll rob the country

    last time i was on a plane i carried two bags and checked two more… all for the price of a single (heavily discounted, restricted advance purchase) coach ticket.

    granted, that was in the late 1990s… but still, passengers are not the criminals, here.

    Why do these people even lug their belongings around with them on planes? Just bring a wallet in your pocket and buy the things you need when you get to your destination.

      Have you never gone somewhere a bit remote where you can’t just buy everything you need? Have you ever gone on a trip that required special clothing like a nice suit or dress? Do you not have kids? Do you not have medical equipment? Etc… These are all legitimate reasons to need more items than a personal bag can hold. While it’s certainly possible for some circumstances to only bring a wallet, it simply doesn’t apply to most travel situations. Try to put yourself in the shoes of others every now and then.
