I have flown quite a bit within the US and in & out of the country since Sept. 11 - most usually from a NYC airport.

I have had no problems carrying my clarinets on board with me. Quite often I am pulled out for inspection. Some inspectors are more "thorough" than others and a few times I have had to take the clarinets out of the case so they could look down the bore.

I always put the following items in a separate bag within a suitcase and check it: reed knives, measuring devices, screw drivers, tuners, metronome, pens, pencils, reed rush, etc. -- almost everything BUT the clarinet, mouthpieces, ligatures and reeds -- just to be sure it causes no concern for the inspectors.

Yesterday, coming back into the US, the inspector saw the clarinet and wanted to know if I preferred "Benny" or "Artie."
