[quote user="John WR"] As for your plane experience, was the offending person's bag endangering the other individual? [/quote] The FAA requires that carry-on bags be stowed under the seat or in the overhead compartments. If the airplane experiences an emergency during takeoff or landing and, as a result runs off the end of the runway, thereby stoping very quickly, anything left on the seats can become a missile inside the cabin. It can endanger anyone on the airplane.   Interestingly, the same forces would apply to an infant being held on the lap of an adult, but the FAA does not prohibit this practice. I am not sure that I understand the rationale, unless the FAA believes that the adult can hold onto the child. I suspect, however, that politics has a lot to do with it.
