query concerning musicians traveling with their instruments in the United
States.

>TSA agrees that this is an important issue affecting the livelihood of

>workforce that no instruments are to be prohibited from carriage beyond

>carry on their instruments will still be permitted to carry on one
>personal item and one bag. We recommend that you contact your air carrier
>prior to your departure to determine any additional size restrictions for
>carry-on and checked baggage.

>We strongly encourage you to visit TSA's websites
