The Federal Aviation Administration likes to make rules, so here’s a suggestion. Ban carry-on bags. Exceptions only for items that you need during the flight, such as computers, snakes, books and magazines, diapers. If you absolutely must have a carry-on bag for whatever reason, you get charged Spirit’s $45, or better yet, $100 for the privilege. If you absolutely must have a carry-on bag because you can’t let your bag out of your sight, you should see a shrink. If you must have a bag because you don’t want the inconvenience of waiting at the baggage carousel like everyone else, tough; you pay for the luxury just like first class passengers do for their extra benefits. - Dennis Byrne, Chicago Now
