When sound flies

I recently flew out to LA for a shoot and I've been getting better at travelling with gear.  This time, instead of paying an extra fee to check an over sized Pelican case on the plane, I minimized the equipment I was bringing and carried on my suitcase and my sound bag as my allowed "one personal item".  My boom pole actually collapsed JUST short enough to fit inside the suitcase diagonally.  My Orca OR40 audio bag fit nicely under the seat in front of me.  I brought a regular shoulder strap for carrying it around the airport since I thought it would be less cumbersome and draw less attention than my body harness.  (Still packed the harness in the suitcase.)  As expected, the TSA checked my bags out thoroughly both ways, but at least this time everything was checked right there in front of me where they could ask me questions if they needed to and I was able to repack everything myself.
