The UK CAA has recently produced an information Notice that attempts to address the problem of the morons who try to take their cabin baggage with them in an emergency evacuation.
It amounts to little more than trying to make people more aware of the consequences of doing that, in the vain hope that this awareness will affect their behaviour. Most will continue not to listen to any safety briefing at all.
The IN does obliquely suggest that people who try to take their cabin baggage should be punished in some way, perhaps by being sent to the back of the queue to leave, by cabin staff at the exit. But at this point such actions would only delay the evacuation. Here is the paragraph;
Operators should also review their procedures and training for passenger management during an evacuation; including verbal instructions to leave hand baggage behind and actions to be taken by cabin crew should passengers attempt to remove hand baggage. This should include management of passengers with hand baggage at exits in order to maintain expediency of egress, ensuring cabin crew intervention does not hinder evacuation.
Unfortunately, cabin crew intervention at the point of exit will unavoidably hinder evacuation, as each stroppy idiot argues the toss.
Arresting and charging anyone who emerges with cabin baggage would be good, but only if passengers are aware that this will happen. But in the circumstances of most evacuations it is unlikely that there will be people on the ground to do that.
For my money, small locking devices should be fitted to overhead bins, that are locked when the doors close by a single switch on the cabin staff panel, and opened when at the gate after arrival. If during a long-haul flight a passenger needs access, this could be managed safely.
