I ‘dunno. I visited Spud’s Carry-on Hall of Shame page. Suffice it to say, this being the “Hall of Shame,” I was expecting some pretty severe violations of the stated carry-on policies; something along the lines of Carrot Top’s trunk of toys. Frankly, the vast majority of what I saw there didn’t strike me as terribly egregious. In fact, in some photos, to the extent there may have been a violation, it struck me as rather borderline at best. I think Spud and his followers may be fussy people who doth protest too much.
