As both a former TWA employee and Travel Agent: It was once the theory that the airlines, preferred passengers did not carry their own food to eat, because if they were taken ill, it would be hard to show who's food make them sick .. Passenger food or Airline food ... so now, it looks like they want people to pay for the food as an insurance policy, in case they are sued for food poisioning ...
Maybe they could have a bag opening fee, much like how restaurants located in dry counties have a corking fee when you bring in your own bottle of wine!
Hmmm! Will the "brown bags" of those attempting to "brown bag it" survive passing through security? If they do survive, will Continental impose a surcharge on those brown bags as yet another profit center?
I'd bet UNITED had their hand in this one .. even if it never did come to be.
Continental will be spelled U-N-I-T-E-D by then, and so goes the transition.
I find the cheeseburger to be a delicious treat. I just wish it came with fries or maybe with a better salad.
