TSA says you can't carry on a decent amount of hair product or nail clippers, so passengers are forced to check bags just to travel with common items. Airlines decide, hey, guess what? Checked bags are gonna cost you. If there's a real need to change pricing to account for increased costs then OK, but in that case the airlines should be upfront about what they're doing and why. Don't quietly shrink leg room to squeeze more people onto plans, or inch up the cost for this or that, or drop amenities in dribs and drabs. It's the weaselling that leaves such a bad taste, not that circumstances make things more expensive. At least with the movies you pretty much know what to expect and what it will cost. And at least with things like 3D the industry might be trying to improve the experience, something I don't see the airlines doing.
