    Southwest, Alaska Air, and United Airlines seem groovy at: 24" x 16" x 10" but most say 22" x 14" x 9"... I have never had a carry-on bag weighed, be nice to the flight crew. If you are thinking of checking, well it better be big, and padded alot... United breaks guitars and probably laser projectors too...

    Both 300Evil and I flew twice with full laser projectors in August for SELEM and only got funny looks.

    Oh, and we carried them on the plane too.


    The key is to help the TSA staff feel relaxed by being relaxed yourself. I just went through and acted like it was business as usual and had no problems.

    I could not find Jonathan's post in the 30 seconds I looked, both he and 300Evil flew with their projectors to SELEM. You have a damn variance from the FDA you should be groovy.
