I checked in with UA at LAX a few days ago for a 1st class flight to London. I had a large garment bag since it's a 3 week trip. There was no way it was going to fit through the template. I tried sneaking it through by lifting the template, but they caught me.

So I unpacked half of my bag and sent through the items one by one. Shoes, books, etc. Soon my bag was small enough to be smashed through the template. On the other side of the x-ray, I repacked my bag.

What a f***ing joke.
