I can't answer definitively but I don't see why not.  Last year I travelled 
to Australia and back from Heathrow and my carry-on bag contained a 
mini-amp, seven harps in a Lee Oskar case and my lapel mic, not to speak of 
my minidisc recorder and the paraphernalia that went with it.   All that lot 
went through several X-ray machines en route but I only got asked about the 
harps one time out of a possible four.  I offered to play the nice security 
lady at Kuala Lumpur a tune but she declined with a smile.  Lined up in the 
case, the harps must have looked like a terrorist ammo pack to the X-ray 
machines!   If you're worried just stick it your hold bag...?
