OK, now United Airlines is joining American in this bonehead policy of charging $15 for the first bag you check when flying on one of their gas-guzzling planes. I guess that means the floodgates are now open. How much longer will it be before the airlines start billing us for bringing aboard our own food (you know, in lieu of buying the airlines' skimpy, overpriced fare), or for even pushing the flight attendant call button? And where exactly is that Star Trek transporter technology already?
