Rather go through the months of work solving problem and having unpleasant experiences than be dead.
And you can be confident anyone holding me up in an emergency for mere documents and papers is going to experience immediate unpleasantness that they aren't going to solve.
- nytesky 2y agoThe fundamental problem is mis aligned incentives and consequences. It’s really unlikely YOUR luggage will impact YOur escape much at all, at worst you can abandon it at almost any point. The consequence of injury will be for those around you, and possible delay for people behind you. But not really YOU. For “important papers” I suspect there is some evaluation of how much they are willing to risk the lives of those other people at the back of the plane. Rule should be if you bring your luggage you are handcuffed to the plane until the last person leaves. I think in older times you would have more severe consequences.
