Airline Consistency

Little Guy,

I respect your opinion on these Romulo-Klingon practices.
But let me ask you, have you ever seen an airline get all anal
about "personal item" vs "carry on" dimensions at the gate, as you board, splitting hairs over semantics?
With a 100 dollar penalty? That's what's going on here.

Most times when I check in I have seen the sizing devices for carry-on and personal items both at the check-in counter and at the boarding gate. I have considered them to be utilitarian, not merely decorative.

I have seen items being checked for size at each location. I have seen items not passing the test but because it doesn’t affect me I haven’t paid attention to what happened next. I don’t think of “This doesn’t fit.” as being semantics. I think of it as being objective measuring.

These are policies in direct opposition to intergalactic law I learned in field commission as an ensign and posted to advanced training near galaxy Rijel 7. I seriously hope I don't have to get Scotty to beam me up tomorrow, in public, or call Geraldo.

I don’t travel intergalactically. Heck, I don’t even travel interplanetary. Again, because it doesn’t affect me, I don’t pay attention to intergalactic regulations.
