A problem as frequent as this, and as potentially PR-negative as this, calls for design changes in the airplane itself.

I am not sure of this, but isn't there access to the luggage bay from within the plane? Atleast some sort of an intermediary, hermetic containment area? Surely this isn't a rocket-science problem!

The airline probably spends more on alleviating the negative image than solving this issue.

The only reason this is a "PR-negative" is that people have no stomach (or spine) anymore. The woman was dead. She probably smelled better than half the fat people I've been forced to sit next to on airplanes.

People are just looking for an excuse to play "victim" to try to get something out of the airline for free. They should have told the whiny guy who was so traumatized to grew a pair and shut the hell up.

And if a live person gets locked in there? Like if the non-doctors make a mistake and they aren't really dead (As frequently happens in nursing homes)?
