Something says more like

"Lipinski, from a Chicago district, home of the second largest airline in the US, received a unrelated $500,000 campaign contribution from the United PAC last week, along with an totally unrelated memo stating "Baggage fees are our biggest profit making center these days, say Dan, can you help us out here and do something Official to force a higher percentage of pax to check more bags? Thanks, your old bud Glenn. PS golf still on for Saturday?""

Ole Lip is on the Aviation Subcommittee, so he might have the pull to get this on the agenda.

Leaked SSI pre-memo:
"Prior to being allowed the privilege of showing their RealID to the highly trained TDC and his Blacklight and Loupe, all sheeple pax must now be preapproved by both the BDO and the new CSE, the Carryon Size Enforcer. CSE's will receive 0.5 hours of rigorous traing on use of their Craftsman Tape Measures before being certified to harassss passengers. CSE's serving flights to international destinations will receive an additional 0.5 hours of training on using the metric scale on the top edge of their Craftsman Tape Measures."
