Each time I board an airliner, I look around to see where the folks are sitting that may pose an obstacle to a quick and safe emergency exit. Although there are several emergency exits, the aisle fits one person and the blocked aisle can cause a stampede of cursing bodies frantically rushing to get out.
That is why during the safety briefing they say to leave all personal belongings behind. An over the shoulder purse can become a hazard to quickly evacuating an aircraft. Keep your id on you and your cell phone in a holster/carrier at all times, everything else is replaceable except your life. Everyone should be focusing on survival if they are able.
