  • I always try to carry these newer plastic bags with me when I go shopping, the pockets of a particular jacket work great (as long as it isn’t summer), I can just store them in the jacket pockets for reuse. This worked great until I had to go to the courthouse. Going through security at the front door, I was questioned by one cop because I had a metal pen and checkbook in my shirt pocket which I didn’t think to put through the scanner, a second cop harassed me because my jacket pockets bulged. Then the cop didn’t like my response, which was emptying my pockets so he could see the empty plastic bags. I really have no idea how I’d ever carry cloth bags for reuse, those would make my pockets bulge even more.

    Perhaps we need to give up on shopping bags entirely?
