Congress is considering a bill to mandate carry on bag size AND provide personnel for inspecting carry on bags. Considering all the issues and problems faced by air passengers and the airline industry, is this really a needed piece of legislation? Personally, I think several items are much more important, including:
A full Congressional review of the TSA and it’s lack of accountability
A passenger bill of rights to prevent airlines from kidnapping entire planes of people on a whim
Funding for airport and runway expansion
Funding for air traffic controller training and hiring
The last thing we need in this day and age is a federal employee measuring every carry on for approval. While there are many consumers who abuse the system, what about needed exceptions for emergencies, tight layovers, business people travelling with one of a kind equipment/samples/materials?
