Airlines should do more to make sure passengers don’t try to evacuate with their carry-on bags, FAA says (https://cnn.it/3VZJy5b) | Ok, but “do more” is pretty vague… requiring passenger evacuation drills on a regular basis would help, but is not feasible for some travelers; having overhead bins automatically lock during an evacuation might help, but could also backfire; automated, repeated instructions during evacuation might help a little, but this is unclear. Experimentation is needed, but difficult to pull off as a realistic, true-to-life scenario. The FAA should fund research to help resolve this issue.
