So either 1) the lawyers ripped off J&J by spending time on this or 2) J&J management was so angry and irrational that they demanded the lawyers waste their time on this. Every lawyer worth their salt in America knows that you can’t

Yes, once you get on the plane. But every so often, the gate agent says that the suit counts as a third carry-on and makes me stuff it into my roller bag instead, even if I'm flying first class and going to hang it as soon as I got ont

Also of highly dubious legality. Would be interesting to see what would happen if an EU member state pursued damages on that angle and then tried to enforce the judgment in a US court. I would expect a US court would refuse to give it effec
