Thomas, you didn't mention weight!
I suspect that US airlines//transatlantic flights have different rules, but
IME the approach in Europe (in addition to the one bag of a given size
principle) is to limit the weight of that bag to 5kg/6kg/9kg. If:
the bag looks heavy;
the plane is 737 size;
the flight is busy and
you aren't travelling business class, then
you can expect it to be weighed.
I have been known to fill my pockets with the heavier pieces of glass, and
put the laptop with paper files in a large envelope to get the carry-on bag
through the check-in process (then to hide round the corner to put it all
back in the one bag to get through security)!

ohboy...I could write books about this. As a frequent victim of the legal
form of torture called airline travel, I do have opinions.
"ONE bag to rule them all" is the way to go for air travels.
