Whose idea was it to make the bins bigger to accomodate the 'out of hand' items ? Airline ? Manufacturer ? I don't recall being asked.
Still, so long as the hosties have more time to put their faces on, it doesn't really matter that the
customers have to endure endless lineups and gamble on getting back what they checked. In the same condition and in a reasonable time.
SLF indeed.
