gcal is the sort of fellow passenger that I would like to fly with!
I like this suggestion too:
Final option for those that want to take their bags is to wait until EVERYONE else is off the plane before you go to the locker.
However I would feel that this would be unfair on the Cabin Crew and the Captain who would have to wait for these morons before they can leave a potentially burning aircraft. But it would be a good way of isolating and thereby identifying those who should have legal action taken against them for endangering lives...
