Fat people on public transport

Air France are looking at making people who eat more than others pay more, seeing as they take up more of the limited space on offer. As the population grows and we all start to crowd each others personal space a little more, should this sort of discrimination be more wide spread?

I think it's a great idea. I get nailed every time I go 1 gram over my luggage allowance and yet I see these over-weight people paying nothing more. Why should I pay for their obesity?

Well strictly they do pay more in life for the more food they eat. But then we pay for the NHS to look after their fat-related health problems....

Perhaps there should be regular weigh-ins, where you get a fat-code; a bit like your tax-code.

Shame RHP don't have sound effect-smileys - I could have done with a drum roll and cymbol smash!

simple, everyone gets 100kg for their luggage and their fat asses.. for every kg you go over you pay extra.

While we're at it, charge more for people who don't wash often enough, people who cough a lot, people who bring their wild-animal kids on board and let them loose, people who ... the list is endless.

What about high cholesterol? Shouldn't these miscreants be made to pay more, as well? Or child molesters? Couldn't the airlines find a way to charge them more?

I suggest having TSA screeners do full body scans of obese passengers and then have them weighed in full view of the other passengers on an industrial scale while laughing loudly and snorting like pigs at them.

Then have the flight attendants give them the fat pinch test every time they walk by them on the plane. And only allow them to drink diet coke during the flight.

Public shaming works best.
