They're already fitting a seat into every available space on these planes, charging extra for luggage, and asking a small fortune for inflight snacks. The only solution I can figure is to ban luggage altogether, throw the coach passengers into the cargo hold, and charge first-class prices for coach while doubling the first-class fare. Maybe they'll start offering complimentary snacks again too.

I feel that this has a million and one flaws. If this becomes legit and the U.S. inforce the bracelet idea I will move to another country or never fly again. The only way i see this happening is if fule cost rise to such a high level that only the highly rich fly. At that point I will have already deported! What are we all dogs?
