It's worth noting that the reason many people take their baggage with them is because airlines often can't be trusted to handle it. Bags get lost, damaged, delayed on reclaim, etc, and they charge extra.
If those problems were solved, airlines could forbid taking anything with you to the cabin with other passengers and evacuation would be easier.

- mullen 7y agoIf a airplane crashes, all of the baggage is confiscated whether you took it off the plane or not. Do you really think that something happens to bring down a plane and they just let the people who took their baggage off the plane during the emergency to just go home with their baggage? I can't believe this has to be explained to anyone.
