On US domestic flights, I have seen passengers to avoid the checked bag fees bring everything short of steamer trunks as carry on bags... some so heavy they have to get help to cram them into the overhead bins. I have yet to see any airline strictly enforce the carry on bag size rules. I have often thought that in a crash or even severe turbulence these bags could become lethal missiles. It is a miracle that more people weren’t killed in this crash especially if some nitwits were struggling to evacuate with their carry on bags.

Funny. And true.

You haven’t flown for at least five years!

Nothing not designed for cabins is allowed beyond the counter.
