rules are meant for everyone

I can understand the need for enforcing the new rule of only allowing one bag as personal hand luggage aboard the aircraft. However, when you only apply this to half of the people boarding, then I have a problem. I was forced to turn back and book in a small suitcase (the other being a laptop bag). If I had put my laptop in my suitcase, I probably would not have been stopped. Irrelevant though. It irks me at no end that certain people are allowed to pass, others not. So what are you going to do to ensure that this rule is app**** to all? If I see this happening again, I am definitely not going to let it go!!
