I'm going to have to disagree with you Margery.

In my experience, people have been bringing too much stuff on to the planes as "carryons" since long before the airlines started charging for fees.

I believe the root cause is the "I'm special factor" people of all ages, genders, etc. have developed over the last 10-15 years with the I have to be catered to, I have to be first, I can't be made to wait, etc.

It's not just the carry on luggage, it's the cell phones, the "I don't have to follow the rules," the shorts and tank tops, etc.
