Should airports weigh passengers?
With the prevalence of obesity reaching epic proportions, it is time that airports start weighing passengers instead of bags? Should passengers who are obese or well overweight be made to pay extra for excess weight, just as we do for excess baggage weight?

I agree with a full combined weight package per seat concept, especially as I am of normal build.
If I buy a seat, normal size albeit small seat now a days, then I expect to be able to fit in to that seat and not be squashed by excess flesh from either side!
And if AIrlines allow for 100kg when they sell a seat I would like to have THAT exdtra difference of weight as baggage allowance, for ME!! and not to compensate for big people!!
Big people can not expect to fit into small clothes and they have to buy whatever suits their size. And the same should be said for Airline seats, and where they supply suitable seats, at a dearer compensating price, so EVERYONE is comfortable.
At present BIG people are getting an almost free ride and not paying their way.
