AUTHOR’S NOTE: A few times each year, someone who knows of my enjoyment of historical research contacts me to see whether I can solve a mystery. Whatever happened to so-and-so? Does such-and-such a business still exist? Who named that lake or that creek? Who was the first to do this or that? And on and on. Sometimes the answers to such questions are relatively easy to find; other times I can find nothing at all.

This excerpt comes from the named source. Read the original for the full reporting.

Common Quandary

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

Your carry-on fits only if you sit on it. Do you try the airport sizer?

Your suitcase is slightly larger than the airline allows, although it has fit overhead on previous flights. Checking it costs extra and risks missing a connection. Other passengers have equally questionable bags and staff are checking inconsistently.

Does uneven enforcement weaken a traveler's duty to follow the rule?
