I’m not a fan of nanny-state policies, but I would support a law that imposes grave consequences for airline passengers found to be in possession of personal baggage following an evacuation.

Because seconds count and lives are on the line, passengers should be trained to treat baggage as if it is radioactive during an evacuation.

If dying doesn't stop them, fear of punishment by law won't either. That's if they even know about the law.

No need for grave consequences, just mandate the destruction of any personal baggage after an evacuation and add a hefty fine to boot.

If it's all gonna get destroyed no matter what, there's no reason even to try to take anything with you.

My preference would be for a massive fine and one-year flight ban for the first offence, and triple that fine plus one year in jail plus lifetime for a second offence.

In all cases, you’re personally responsible for your injuries and those of anyone behind you.
