Just weigh and charge people with their baggage. Privacy and embarrassment about mass can be blamed on the bag.
Not everybody checks bags tho
Everybody has at least some kind of carry-on. And if not, it would at least be cheaper.
But the things that are priced when overweight are only checked bags, no? Or also carry on bags?
Right now, yeah. But things could change if they’re considering weighing passengers. It makes sense to charge a fixed price for the staff, time, seat, and booking, and a variable price for the fuel (based on mass, distance, wind, and current fuel costs).
Some passengers might have double my mass and should pay more. Children could cost a bit less this way too.
I’m comfortable in my weight. However, my girlfriend is not. We won’t be flying any airline that weighs us. That would be a small crisis for her.

Hah!
Shit - that wasn’t meant to be a pun
I mean they do need to balance the plane so it makes sense, another thing they could do is eliminate first class seats and spread the seating out a little more so they can relocate passengers easier.
