The airline is placing new bag-sized kiosks at security checkpoints to catch people trying to avoid bag fees. Passengers caught trying to overstep the carry-on size limit will be plucked out of line and forced to check the bag — and pay the $25 bag fee.

United says the move is just an enforcement of preexisting rules on the size and number of bags passengers can bring on board.
