Ryanair: get in shape, carry your own bags
European object of disdain low-cost carrier Ryanair is always looking for ways to save a few bucks. From pay-to-piss to the fat tax, the airline has put forth a stream of ideas that really haven't gotten off the ground. Well, CEO Michael O'Leary has a new one to add to the list: mandatory luggage self-service.
Under this new model, passengers would carry their bags through airport security and drop them at the steps at the bottom of the plane. Turnaround times remain a concern – as they are for the fat tax. Let's be realistic: the only people in the airport more likely to screw something up than baggage handlers are the passengers themselves.
If you spend 15 minutes staring at the menu at Sbarro and can't figure the damned thing out, you probably shouldn't be trusted to carry your own bags.

Enough with Ryanair. Most of these readers will never have a reason to fly with them! (which is a good thing). Find an airline everyone can relate to!

But what do we do with our sharp objects & liquids?!? Double security?? Makes no sense.
