Since the US Dollar is so weak, I have been bringing tons of stuff back to Europe from the US. I carefully weigh each bag before leaving to make sure I am within 1 pound of the limits. However, I have found a loophole when departing from Atlanta.

Due to 9/11 crap, in Atlanta, you have to check your bags in at ticketing then haul them over to the xray machines so they can screen the baggage. Guess what? They don't check the weight after you get the baggage tags at ticketing.

So, after checking the luggage, I roll it back to hourly parking, add all the heavy stuff, and then go back to the screening machines. I have put as much as 90 pound suitcases through the system without having to pay extra.
Also, I have transferred heavy stuff from carry on to checked when I did not have my car.

I know this seems like a hassle but saving $100 per bag in extra weight fees makes it worthwhile.

Does anyone else know of any other loopholes to beat the weight limitations?
