There is no doubt that smaller bags are often ignored, but what do you do
if they are NOT. There is one dragon lady at Melbourne International
Airport. I've almost got to know her on a name basis ;-) She knows my bag
will not be overweight, but she does wonder why I wear such a huge
overcoat with buldging pockets on a hot summer's day ;-)
