All these suggestions only work if you are white or of an ethnicity that is not perceived as "threatening". I had a friend who called a FA and complained about the guy next to him taking up his legroom with a big rollaboard. The FA asked "what other plans" he had for the legroom and then had him escorted off the plane by security.

Moral of the story. If you are brown and someone takes your legroom, grin and bear it.

I'm Canadian and against many lawsuits I read about but lawsuit definitely comes to mind here. Doesn't matter what's going on in the world, that's just plain ignorant on the FA's, airlines and securities parts for doing this.
