The biggest challenge is the fact that they have always had the bag size rule there they have just never enforced it. It is now coming to bite them in the back side for not using those bag size checks before even though they have been there for years just looking like a dust collector.
As a regular business traveler I would hope they do check people bag sizes and they do send the big ones to the baggage compartment. Too many times I have a carry on with my electronics etc. and someone tried to jam a full sized suitcase in the bin almost destroying what we have in there.
I also am waiting for the day some guys big bag drops out of a bin on some old person and kills them and the family brings a big lawsuit for it. maybe then they will learn that carry on means just that and if you want to bring your whole closet pay the money and ship it down below.
