    You don’t fly much, do you? Getting through check in is a pain in the ass enough as it is, and now you want to add a weigh in and price adjustment step for every person onto that?

      I don’t. I stopped flying a few years after 9/11 because I despise the TSA, being confined with inconsiderate people, and love road trips. If flying was what it was like in the 90s, I would be more inclined to fly.

      Stand on a scale with all your bags at check-in. No issue.

        Except there’s plenty of issue. Do you think none of those people, whom you already know are inconsiderate, are going to lie about their weight? Hell, they don’t even have to be knowingly lying, their scale at home could just be wrong. Now you have to deal with price adjustments at the gate, and you know people are going to argue with the attendants about that.
