Liz Copeland and myself both brought our scopes with us on a recent trip to
Texas. We wrapped the tripods and put those in our checked luggage and
carried the scopes and bins in our carry on's.
We also had some of our birding books in there as well, we told the security
people what we had and they certainly had a look at it, but we had no problem
carrying them on.
