The problem is that people insist on bringing crap like this[0] with them onboard the flight when it clearly doesn't fit. I get a slightly sadistic pleasure whenever I see a confiscated herd of these bags at the end of the jet bridge. Like, those people really thought they could bring a bag the size of their mini-fridge onto a flight? Get real, people.

I'm super confused. In EU all airlines use sizers before the gate, if whatever you want to bring on board doesn't fit into the sizer(and the bag you posted definitely wouldn't) it has to be checked in at a heavy fee. Do US airlines just don't care what you bring in board with you?

The size matters in the US, too, but that doesn't stop a dozen people from trying to get away with carrying on an oversized bag. You'll usually find anywhere from a few to a dozen bags confiscated on the boarding bridge.
