Perhaps we should come up with a fix that Shirley Jackson might be proud of.

Take all the passengers who have bags that are too large to fit in the overhead bins or who take more items on board then entitled to; line them up and have one chosen at random to be stoned to death.

I would not have this apply to those who have bags that conform, only to find there is no room for said bags. Depending on how this works, I'd consider lining up those who are sitting in Row 37, but put their bags in the bins above Row 9.
