i bring mine as carry on.  i make it a point not leave them in my  
backback.  instead, i open the case and put it in the trays that hold  
your keys and such.  make it as obvious as possible what they are.   
i've had screeners thank me for doing that. before i started doing  
that, i've had embarrassing delays when they spotted a stray harp with  
the x-ray machine but didn't know what it was.
