Airport lines

We sure love to blame the government for every problem we have. But in the case of the long waits for boarding planes, there is plenty of blame to spread around.

A great place to start would be for the airlines to enforce their own rules pertaining The onerous charges they keep piling on for checked bags have led to unchecked abuse as everyone ignores those little boxes to check the size of carry-on bags at the entrance to the check-in line. Also,TSA could institute express lines for passengers with only one small bag, and let the airlines deal with the blowback from their greedy surcharges.
