Indeed. Though I'd call it "another" recipe for "another" disaster.
They tried this in the US at various points in time and places - TSA or it's predecessors installed various guides on XRay machines meant to restrict the size and shape of hand carried baggage. Problem was if there was more than one airline serviced by the checkpoint, who's rules / which airline's restrictions won out and/or controlled. And, without opening the whole "TSA _____" can o' worms, why do you have security people enforcing rules completely unrelated to security. As a result, these things gradually fell by the wayside and now, you see more and more sizers at the gate entrance.
It's bad enough in SA with all the various full-employment project people working (I'm looking at you, folks with the scale at the beginning of the check in queue) that now they add this new enforcement regime. Are the going to memorize every airlines/alliance's various tiers and allowances. Doubt it.
