Yes it would mean all that. As for screeners searching more bags what's the difference if they search checked bags or carryons ... both types of luggage are getting checked? This way, there would be much less theft.
I haven't checked a bag in over a year, so it wouldn't affect me.
People who have to have their pocket knives would not fly RyanAir.
