I think you might have sparked something!!!!!

Its brutal... The limit is 20kg or 44lbs per person. Frick, most of the luggage they make now a days weigh that much, meaning if you put more than 3 shirts and a tube of toothpaste in your bag you are over the limit.

Also to make matters worse, those limits are rarely enforced going down, but coming back the front counters enforce them like its a federal crime to go over the limit without paying!!!!!
