MarketWatch.com suggests travelers will try to beat the system by squeezing all their belongings into carried-on bags, with non-seasoned fliers, who might not know they can’t bring aboard water bottles or other banned items.
That could hold up the lines at security checks.

With airlines continuously looking for new revenue sources in the effort to handle skyrocketing fuel costs, experts also predict rival legacy carriers are likely will follow AA’s move soon.
