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.

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?

Maybe airlines should make the seats bigger to accomodate larger people. This would means less passengers per flight so prices would have to rise.
This would then give thinner people something else to moan about.
Will the skinny people ever be happy. 🙄

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.

Are you on that list trev? 😉
i'd take a fat dude beside me any day over a dude with a bo problem. the kids or coughing wouldn't bother me much. in fact i'd probably annoy the kids more than them annoying me by the end of the trip. made a little girl cry once on a bus... good times 😵
