Oh wow. I just puked in my mouth a little. I seem to be doing that more and more in response to civil liberty eroding news lately.
Land of the Free? Are we really at the point where we have a damn law governing the bags we can take on transportation provided by a privately owned firm? This has to be a joke.
Just because you don't like waiting in line at security because some bozo is loading his 18 carry-ons on the belt doesn't mean the government has to get involved. The Founding Fathers did not say, "Hey!!! Let's create a system of government whereby the people can legislate their way to an annoyance free existence!" I get angry when people take more than 10 items in the express line at the grocery store (those 2 times a year I actually enjoy the luxuries of being home long enough to justify groceries), but I sure don't want to see a law passed that express checkout lines are universally limited to 10 items.
Let me say it again clearly for all those out there that seem to have forgotten civics. Government is not here to legislate every single annoyance in or impact on your life. Sure carry-on bags can be a problem at the airport. Get over it or write a letter to the airline. Just like the 1,850 things that annoy and/or impact me everyday, you too can just move on. Do not impact my right to make a deal with American Airlines to bring 15 bag with me on my next flight. They are a privately owned company and I am a private citizen. Government has no part in this equation.
This is like living science fiction. Seriously.
