Has nothing to do with terrorists.
It,s just part of an industry effort to enhance safety.
Nect time you travel look in the overhead bins ,you,ll find a little placard

These bins were not designed for the loads you typically encounter.That
means that in extreme turbulence or a otherwise survivable crash they,ll
fail and cause injury.
