If there is time to grab your bag, you grab your bag
I dont see why anyone is making it an issue
Somewhere I thought I heard that airliners need to be evacuated in 90 seconds. That way everybody has a chance to get out before deadly smoke fills the cabin.
I would grab my bag, too. I definitely don’t carry anything of value in luggage because you can replace clothes. But the personal and carry-on with your passport, etc., those are hard to replace and a hassle. It’s become natural and instinctive to protect your hand-carry. However, if the choice truly comes down to it, I’m prepared to lose the hand-carry.

I tend to agree. While you are standing there in the queue, you get your bag. The plane is not on fire at this point. You are safe on the ground at this point.
Also... on a slightly different topic....
Which is worse? .... a crash landing and evacuating the plane in a crowded queue via the sliding board ramp thingy, or a normal TSA security checkpoint? Both carrying baggage?
Ditto. If I have time to grab my bag, I'll grab my bag.

Because the world’s average IQ is headed down the same steep, slippery slope as freedom!
Grabbing your bag is a bad idea - you may believe there is time or that it won’t get in the way - Seriously stupid to worry about your bag in a crash - why - one word - JET FUEL
Agreed!
