My lobby has strategically placed carry-on size checks so it's easy to ask people to place their bag inside one. I try to catch as many as I can. My airport has an unusually large amount of 4-foot-long-backpacks. Just because you can strap it on your back doesn't make it carry-on size
Well darn. Even if you were in LAS we would likely not meet. I have not checked a bag in 15 years here. (although I may actually have to break that streak next month unless someone can suggest a reasonable cost alternative for sending luggage ahead to the UK).
But, more importantly--KUDOS to you for actually trying to enforce the carryon rules ^^^.
