According to The Middle Seat (Scott McCartney) in the WSJ Online today, AA, US, and UA want to bring back metal templates on the X-Ray machines at security.

And UA is planning to gate check bags from folks in the later boarding groups before they even start to board the plane.

My prediction: this will cause more hate and ill will toward the airlines than ANYTHING they've done before.... especially the metal sizers and those that choose to charge for gate checking.
