The only way to change the natural selfish behavior of humans in emergency situations is to impose on them some form of penalty for non-compliance that encourages them to follow the rules.
while I agree that their behavior CAN be changed, I suggest that another way of doing this is for pax to realize that's it's in their own interests to leave their luggage behind. Self-interest as we all know is a strong driver of human behavior.
