The weight debate has already started in a way, with very large people having to purchase 2 seats. I think that it is inevitable at some stage that a passenger's weight will be considered. As the pressure builds up on the airline industry, due to green issues, keeping the overall weight of a plane to the min will become paramount. In fact - is being overweight a green issue in itself? Are tubby folks wasting more of the earths natural resources? Mmmm. With waists increasing, it's only a matter of time.
Surprised M O'Leary hasn't started it already.
I'm a svelt, smug 12 stoner.
