lets hear a show of hands. how many open bins have you seen, and how many flight have you bin on? i am not a real ff, but bin around for a long time. i have seen ZERO open bins in about 2000 flights. i have seen:
some crazy crib/bassenet thing on BA planes where the mother stood on the arm of the seat, and put an infant in an overhead crib in front of the luggage bins
netting rather than bins on planes to central and south america. most of the passengers took advantage to store their "pets" up there.......chickens. realy, chickens.
once, an LH pilot missed the ground by about 3 feet and pounded the plane into the runway. all the overhead tv's and that opened most of the bins.

Of course what was up there were hat boxes and briefcases - Not steamer trunks full of liquor bottles.

Seriously, it isn't that difficult.
