It's when we're at the hands of capricious or arbitrary enforcement of
inconsistent rules that we are most often the must frustrated --
there's just no personal control for anyone when it happens and it
definitely makes one NOT endure the situation that causes it.

I remember flying to Australia on Qantas we were limited to a single
bag. Fortunately I knew it well in advance and could plan. But I know
I'd be very angry to have arrived at the airport to find that there
was a weight limit as well as the single bag limit.

More thanks to the terrorists!
