When he escalated his sense of authority, I explained to him that Delta doesn't have any hand luggage limit, he just ignored me. At this point, 3 other DL passengers were in the same situation: "No scale, no fly" so I decided to go back to the counter. A nice AF agent reminded Mr. hbp that only AF passengers were subject to hand baggage weight.
OK, so now we know that using the Sky Priority line is not a sure way of avoiding the hand baggage police.
That leaves PARAFE. Anyone ever encounter the hand baggage police in or while entering the PARAFE area?
(SDQBound: Did the hbp accompany you to the counter? I always wondered what would happen if you just told them to take a hike and refused to have your bag weighed or show them your boarding pass for ID purposes.)
