This seems to be directed at airlines with low limits such as SA and VS.
Ran into this at AKL where I was told that even though I was a premium Pax I wasn't allowed to bring my bag. Went back to the NZ rep and they walked me through telling the bag police to pretty much shove off. My bag was a laptop backpack that was .5kg over the weight limit..
