Having just done the TSA/American Airlines Stomp, I can say that at least one airline really doesn't seem to give a rat's patootie about the size and shape of most carry-ons unless they are flagrantly oversized. Like stuffed-with-a-body oversized.
You know, if it takes two people to lift your carry-on to stow it in the overhead compartment, then maybe you should consider checking it.
And while I'm ranting, I wish there was an airline that made everyone who had carry-on luggage wait for those of us that are AREN'T encumbered to exit the plane before luggage-toting passengers stop all egress by wrestling their over-sized baggage from overhead. Grrrrr.
Wine may not heal all things, but it sure will make you feel a whole lot better.
