Jimworcs,
Its nice you are advocating on behalf of the consumer but respectfully I have to disagree.
I employee a lot of people and benefits cost are rising at at mid to high single digits ever year.
Airlines allow 50 Lbs which is quite generous, and quite heavy. Comp claims from OJI (On Job Injuries) rise dramatically with incremental increases in weight, sound, etc.

We restrict employees from handling anything over 40 Lbs as statistically this is about the highest weight before you see a marked increase in injuries.
