You know I had 4 flights last week and and another 4 this week. I have checked a bag each and everytime and to be honest with you it has been kind of nice to walk around the airport and board the plane with empty hands. By the time I get off the plane, make a quick stop in the restroom and walk to the baggage area I have only had to wait a few minutes for my bags. I would rather do this than go spend all sorts of money on products that don't work as well as my real stuff. The amount of time I would spend hunting all over town for these wierd prodcuts would far exceed the extra few minutes each trip to get my bag.....
