Me too - I carry it as my carry on bag. I'm entitled to one so that's my one. As I board I ask the attendents to put it in their clothing hold and they do. We had an old thread about this Bobert right after 9/11 and I don't know where it is either - but nothing has changed.

My case has bunches of military stickers on it so maybe that is why I've never been bumped about checking it -

Have fun -
