I think what should happen, is the airlines need to enforce more strongly the 2 piece carry one rule, it has gotten outrageous. I was told from a coworker that the only people that get it right in this regard is the british, when they limited carry on to one piece only. I myself only bring a briefcase and a carry on bag that meets the overhead standard. But sometimes you see people with so many pieces i.e. a backpack, shopping bags, carry on luggage, it makes you wonder why no one says anything to begin with. I say start charging at the gate, which would help limit people carrying on so much.
Now if you're a parent traveling with children, I think that is the exception of the rule, because you gotta keep the kids happy (so they can stop kicking my chair). Same goes for someone who needs additional care.
