Consequence of shifting carry-on luggage to checked luggage for aircraft weight

Wear your glasses. You can carry papers.. don't check company proprietary
information.

Are you kidding? You think I'd check contact lenses? My eyes aren't
correctable to 20/20 with glasses and I can't risk getting to the other
end and not having contacts. Can't drive to the airport in glasses, either.

And if you think I'm paranoid, the airlines/TSA have a 100% lose/steal
rate with my checked luggage. I've learned.
