Hundreds of readers responded to our survey earlier this month asking about the need for federal regulation of carry-on luggage. Our readers clearly voted that we don’t need a federal law and, even more strongly, they don’t want TSA enforcing any such law. Respondents blame the airlines for adding to the problem with luggage fees and then not policing their own policies.

This may come under the “careful what you wish for” category. We have all grumbled under our breath (well sometimes, no-so-under-our-breath) about passengers carrying oversized luggage aboard plane as carry-on luggage. Rep. Lipinski (D-Ill.) is proposing a law mandating the maximum size of bags a passenger can carry on board.

With the airlines baggage charges in disarray and the major airlines in a rare divergence when it comes to a basic costs, Delta’s shocking increase in their 2nd-bag-charge might be a more reasonable path than the American/United/USAirways group with their $15 first-checked-bag charge.
